Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Campaign Around Liege
To attack always, to attack everywhere, and to overlap in the attack is the essen tial principle of German military training. This is the principle which is acted upon when hostilities definitely open and the diplomatist retires into the background. There is only one means by which it can be carried into effect, and that is to have overwhelming numbers of men ready to pour into the field and bear down oppos ing forces by sheer weight. At Liege, at Namur, at Charleroi, or in the Vosges, the mowing down of the invading hosts by ri?e or cannon must have seemed to the defensive troops as wearying and useless a task as cutting off the heads of a hydra.
