Description

Ballantine, 1958. — 255 p.Much more than a military history, rather an invocation which summons out from the depths of the past the catastrophic year 1917. Here is brought to light again all its many facets, its antagonisms, its blunders, its horrors and its heroism, and also their repercussions on politics and social life. In an extraordinary way the author recaptures the atmosphere of that time, and makes facts live again. Two of these facts are outstanding: the inability of the politicians to win a profitable peace, and the incapacity of the generals to win profitable battles. As the author writes, "Early 1917 would have been a splendid time to stop the war."
