Like the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of the Frontiers has often
been ignored by military historians, who assumed that the French
lost the first battles of the World War I because they launched
suicidal bayonet charges against German machine guns. Therefore,
for nearly a century, these battles have been considered
uninteresting. In reality, these were some of the most important,
hard-fought and instructive battles of the First World War. The
Battle of the Frontiers is the first history of this battle in
English and is based on ground-breaking research conducted in
French and German army archives. It also makes use of neglected
French and German books and articles, as well as German regimental
histories, and includes personal accounts by participants such as
Manfred von Richthofen (when he was still a cavalry lieutenant) and
the young Erwin Rommel. Terence Zuber here presents a dramatic new
perspective on combat in 1914.
