About this book
Between Paris and Verdun, in September 1914, the Battle of the Marne was fought, and George Herbert Perris examines it here. He was special correspondent of the Daily Chronicle with the French armies from 1914 to 1918, and the book was published in Boston in 1920 with twelve maps.
His preface sets out the questions he takes up: why the battle fell there rather than near the frontiers, where the German superiority lay at the start, whether the first French concentration was justified, and what part Gallieni, Von Kluck, Sir John French, Foch and Joffre played. A general map shows the armies on the eve of the battle.
