Sobre este artículo
London: Leo Cooper, 1992. 352 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H). Pictorial endpapers, b&w photographs, maps, battle plans, drawings. "Participants in the 1914-18 conflict were to witness the birth of air combat, the first true underwater war, the use of the internal combustion engine and radio-telegraphy for military ends, and the appearance of chemical warfare. This flood of inventions and developments, coinciding as it did with rising levels of industrialization and unprecedented increases in population, ensured that a whole generation would be virtually wiped out before the guns were silenced. (In this book, Terraine) concentrates on the nuts and bolts, the technology of war. His study is set against the background of the strategy of the high commands, which proved tactically so difficult to implement; the armies of the western front grinding to a halt and digging in, contrasting starkly with the sweeping movements in the east; the desperate attempts to breakout of the deadlock by means both orthodox and unorthodox, using all the tricks that the new technology could offer; the fighting that wore down all the armies involved, and the final push that finally stopped the carnage." A few light rub lines down front board, bump at bottom of spine, light wrinkling at top of spine, slight cigarette odour, book is slightly cocked, slight browning to edges of text block. Dust jacket has minor browning, light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds. . Reprint. Hard Cover. Very Good-/Very Good-.
