The existence of the Schlieffen plan has been one of the basic
assumptions of twentieth-century military history. It was the
perfect example of the evils of German militarism: aggressive,
mechanical, disdainful of politics and of public morality. The
Great War began in August 1914 allegedly because the Schlieffen
plan forced the German government to transform a Balkan quarrel
into a World War by attacking France. And, in the end, the
Schlieffen plan failed at the battle of the Marne. Yet it has
always been recognized that the Schlieffen plan included
inconsistencies which have never been satisfactorily explained. On
the basis of newly discovered documents from German archives,
Terence Zuber presents a radically different picture of German war
planning between 1871 and 1914, and concludes that, in fact, there
never really was a 'Schlieffen plan'.
