*** OVER 210,000 WEST POINT MILITARY HISTORY SERIES SETS IN PRINT ***
World War I marked the end of the old military order and the beginning of the era of mechanized warfare. This is a thorough examination of the campaigns of the “war to end all wars.” It analyzes the development of military theory and practice from the prewar period of Bismark’s Prussia to the creation of the League of Nations.
