關於產品
Product Information
In this timely new book, Adrian Gilbert clears away the layers of sentiment that have obscured a true historical understanding of the 1914 campaign to provide a full, unvarnished picture of the British Expeditionary Force at war. Previous assessments of the BEF have held to an unshakeable belief in its exceptional performance during the battles of 1914. But closer examination of the historical record reveals a force possessing some key strengths yet undermined by other, significant failings. Within an authoritative and well-paced campaign narrative, Challenge of Battle re-evaluates the army's leadership, organization and tactics. It describes the problems faced by commanders, grappling with the brutal realities of 20th-century warfare, and explains how the British infantry's famed marksmanship has to be set against the inexperience and tactical shortcomings of the BEF as a whole. However, it also demonstrates the progress made by the British during 1914, concluding with the successful defence of Ypres against superior enemy forces. The author examines the fateful decisions made by senior officers and how they affected the men under their command. Making full use of diaries, letters and other contemporary accounts, Adrian Gilbert builds a compelling picture of what it was like to fight in the battles of Mons, Le Cateau, the Aisne and Ypres.

"Well-written and carefully argued, 'Challenge of Battle' clearly describes the initial battles of WWI in graphic detail and begins what promises to be a major reappraisal of the British army in 1914." --Bowling Green Daily News "Gilbert's measured, balanced analysis of the British Expeditionary Force's performance in the first months of World War I presents the Old Contemptibles as they were." --Professor Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel: Men Of War in the Twentieth Century Praise for Adrian Gilbert's other books: POW: Allied Prisoners in Europe, 1939-1945 'Gilbert is to be congratulated; with verve and scholarship he has illuminated a murky area of the war ... [an] excellent history.' - Ian Thomson, Daily Telegraph 'Captured: the real spirit of the POW camps... a big subject here given a comprehensive and worthwhile examination.' - Peter Lewis, Daily Mail '[a] fascinating study of the prisoner of war experience.' - Professor Gary Sheffield, Military Illustrated The Imperial War Museum Book of the Desert War 'A vivid, vital history.' - Sunday Times 'Lucid narrative of operations ... superb illustrations.' - Philip Warner, Daily Telegraph 'A familiar story, re-told from a series of new angles ... much fresh, illuminating detail.' - Professor M.R.D.
