Böcker av Michael S. Neiberg

Looking beyond diplomats and generals, Neiberg shows that neither nationalist passions nor desires for revenge took Europe to war in 1914. Dance of the Furies gives voice to a generation who suddenly found themselves compelled to participate in a ghastly, protracted orgy of violence they never imagined would come to pass.

In "The First Battle of the Marne" French and British forces stopped the initial German drive on Paris in 1914. The Second Battle of the Marne marks the point at which the Allied armies stopped the massive German Ludendorff Offensives and turned to offensive operations themselves. This work gives an account of the bloody events of those days.

This is the story of the evolution of the citizen army throughout Western nations during the nineteenth century and up through World War I.
