Özet, vb.
“Major European powers drafted war plans before 1914 and executed them in August 1914; none brought the expected victory by Christmas. This collection of essays by international experts in military history reassesses war plans of 1914 in a broad diplomatic, military, and political setting for the first time in three decades. The book analyzes war plans of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Russia on basis of the latest research and explores their demise in opening months of World War I. Collectively and comparatively, these essays place contingency war planning before 1914 in different contexts and challenges each state faced as well as into a broad European paradigm. This is first such undertaking since Paul Kennedy's groundbreaking War Plans of the Great Powers (1979), and the end result is breathtaking in scope and depth of analysis“ -- Yayıncı.
