This book provides a comprehensive and illuminating study of some
of the most crucial campaigns on the Eastern Front during what was
perhaps the most momentous year of World War I in that
battleground. Turning Points: The Eastern Front in 1915 offers a
well-researched and fascinating study of war in a distinct theater
of operations and shows how it was impacted by diplomacy, coalition
warfare, command, technology, and the environment in which it is
conducted. In contrast to those on the Western Front, lines in the
east in 1915 moved hundreds of miles. Although the work focuses
more on the Central Powers, significant attention is also given to
the Russians. The book follows the course of events on the Eastern
Front during the critical year of 1915, proceeding chronologically
from January 1915 to the end of active operations in October, with
a brief mention of some action in December. In addition to the
better-known campaigns in the Carpathians and Gorlice-Tarnow, the
work covers lesser-known operations including the Second Battle of
the Masurian Lakes, the Austro-Hungarian "Black-Yellow" offensive
into eastern Galicia, and the German move into Lithuania. Naval
action on the Baltic Sea is also covered. Offers a detailed account
of a significant and often overlooked theater of World War I Relies
on original documentary research conducted by the author in
archives in Freiburg and Munich, Germany, and in Vienna, Austria
Analyzes the key campaigns and battles on the Eastern Front in 1915
Builds on the author's 2010 Praeger book Breakthrough: The
Gorlice-Tarnow Campaign, 1915
