Sommario/riassunto

This book, originally published in 1920, is a historical account by Alexander von Kluck, a German General during World War I. It focuses on the events surrounding the German march on Paris and the Battle of the Marne in 1914. The narrative is based on von Kluck's personal experiences and daily notes as the commander of the First Army, along with official documents and reports from that period. The book aims to provide an authentic understanding of the strategic decisions and military operations from the German perspective, while avoiding later historical controversies. It is a valuable resource for historians and military enthusiasts interested in World War I's Western Front operations.
