Beschreibung

"Monchy-le-Preux, a village on a slight hill east of Arras, has been a strategic point since the time of Caesar. Between 1914 and 1918, it was the focal point of major operations and military development, but being the centre of Arras operations, does not carry the same cultural baggage as Passchendaele, the Somme, or Verdun (perhaps with an exception for its peripheral operation on Vimy Ridge). This work is intended to accomplish three objectives: to show the evolution of armies and military art and science through these years; to provide the "lost" perspective of the intervening levels between maligned strategists and sanctified soldiers; and to engender an interest in the expandied understanding of the first great war, which has colored popular perception of war in general. It adds to recent scholarship that re-evaluates events and reputations between 1914-1918, and is intended for a general readership, including aspiring historians (amateur as well as professional), students of military history, war and human behaviour, and anyone interested in unravelling the great story of the early twentieth century"--
