One of its features is that 1t dtsclosas

Fafkeuhayn scheduled General Won
Mortke as the chief of the great gen.
eral staff and was himself succeeded
by HindenbIIrg and Ludendorm when
the Verdun disaster had robbed him
OF the confidence of the Germany
army and people
. The general tells of violent friction
between the supreme command and
the chief command In the east, con-
siuing of Hindenhurg and linden
dorff, and of alterations with F'alk-
enhayn over the question Of how the
war should be- run
The book shows that these conflicts
seriously influenced the military de-
cisions and plans and sometimes de-
trim entsI1y affected the operations IN
the field. II deals with wealth of
detail regarding the bloodfest battles
in the Champagne and Artots In the
spring Of 1915, the break through and
the rolling UT of the Russian front at
Tarnow by Field Marshal Won Mack
