Excerpt from The Strategy of the Great War: A Study of Its Campaigns and Battles in Their Relation to Allied and German Military Policy
The first six chapters of this volume appeared in the Sunday issues of the New York Tribune in January and February, 1919. Parts of four other chapters appeared in later Sunday issues of the same newspaper. The author's thanks are due to Mr. Ogden Reid, editor-in-chief of the Tribune, for permission to reprint them in book form.
In these studies the author has elaborated the theories outlined in his daily "Military Comment" in the Tribune from April 15, 1918, until the signing of the armistice.
This war differed from all other wars. It was fought on a scale transcending all experience. Its development could not be foreseen by the general staffs which were charged with conducting it. Many new and disturbing factors entered into it. The strategy on both sides was confused and empirical. Novel conditions in the field also revolutionized tactics.
