Known as the War to End all Wars and the Great War, World War I introduced new forms of mass destruction and modern technological warfare.
The Generals\' War is a landmark exploration of the generalship that shaped the very framework of modern warfare as we know it today and provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis on the senior commanders of the Great War..
Although history remembers none of them as great captains, these six officers determined for better or worse how World War I was fought on the battlefields of the Western Front between November 1917 and November 1918.
These six very different men included Germany\'s Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg and General Erich Ludendorff
France\'s Marshals Ferdinand Foch and Philippe P tain
Great Britain\'s Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig; and the United States\' General John Pershing.
The Generals\' War explores the military strategies of those generals during the last year of the Great War.
Much of how World War I played out turned on the plans and decisions of the senior-most German and Allied commanders.
But as fresh American troops entered Europe, the strategic scales tipped against Germany.
When the Bolsheviks pulled Russia out of the war in late 1917, the Germans turned their offensive efforts to the Western Front in an attempt to win the war in 1918.
