Balanced & solid account of the brilliant German 1914 operation on the Eastern Front. "Major-General Ironside gives the Gemans every credit for their resolution & speed, but points out how greatly they were assisted by their opponents' lack of training & equipment, & by the mistakes made by the two separated Russian commanders. After all his criticisms, however, Tannenberg remains one of the most brilliant operations of the War, as he is ready to admit." - Falls. At the time of writing Ironside was Commandant of the Staff College. Orig. blue cloth, gilt, VG with stamp of Adjutant, 5th Bn. Nigeria Regt. to ffep. See illustration on our website.
