Description:
"Germany's failure in the first year of World War I remains a frequent subject of analysis. This book examines the structural failures that frustrated the Germans in the war's initial campaign, the invasion of Belgium. Too much routine in planning, command and execution led to groupthink, inflexibility and an overconfident belief that nothing could go too terribly wrong"--
