Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nelson's History of the War, Vol. 8
Her Allies had not distinguished themselves; but in the grip of the German machine even Aus trian and Turk could march to victory. The threat from Italy did not disturb her. She knew the strength of the austro-italian frontier, and, even if Trieste fell, small harm would be done. The Allies were committed to an impossible enter prise at Gallipoli, where even success, in her eyes would not atone for their desperate losses. She noted with approval that the Balkan States still maintained their uneasy neutrality. After her vic tories of the summer there would be small induce ment for Rumania, Bulgaria, and Greece to pledge their fortunes to a drooping cause. Even if they lost their heads, it would matter little. Germany had a supreme contempt for subsidiary operations. When she had crippled Russia, and broken France and Britain, she could deal at her leisure with anv foolish Balkan princeling.
