This Challenging And Controversial Analysis Of The War On The Western Front From 1914 To 1918 Reveals How And Why The Germans Consistently Defeated The French And The British With Onehalf To Onethird Fewer Casualties Than The Allies, And How American Troops In 1918 Saved The Allies From Defeat And A Negotiated Peace With The Germans.Based On A Decade Of Research Into Previously Unused French And German Sources, The Myth Of The Great War Shows What Actually Happened At The Front As The Participants Perceived It At The Time, As Opposed To What French And British Commanders And Governments Claimed. John Mosier, Who Visited All The Major Battlefields, Describes And Analyzes Campaigns That Are Routinely Neglected Or Ignored And Shows Why Conventional Accounts Of Such Major Battles As Verdun Are Incorrect. He Explains How German Tactics, Weapons, Training, And Leadership Were Consistently Superior, And Why The Endless, Ineffective Attacks Of The French And British With Inferior Weapons And Battle Tactics Of The Previous Century Resulted In Mindless Slaughter And Defeat. Mosier Also Discusses The Major Military Leaders On Both Sides ' Including Joffre, Petain, Foch, Gallieni, French, Haig, Wilson, Moltke, Ludendorff, Falkenhayn, Mudra, And Pershing.The French And British Military Controlled, Suppressed, And Manipulated All Battlefield Reports. German Losses Were Magnified; Failures Became Successes, Defeats Victories. Allied Intelligence Was Grossly Inaccurate And Inadequate, And The Result Was A Distorted Picture Of What Was Really Happening. Absorbing And Persuasive, The Myth Of The Great War Is A Striking New Assessment Of The Military Realities Of World War I.
