Beschreibung
First published in 1924, German General Max Hoffmann's The War of Lost Opportunities examines missed opportunities for the German military during the First World War.The book takes particular note of The Battle of Tannenberg fought between August 26-30, 1914, which resulted in the almost complete destruction of the Russian Second Army and the suicide of its commanding general, Alexander Samsonov.The battle also led to the 1918 Spring Offensive-otherwise known as Kaiserschlacht ("e;Kaiser's Battle"e;), or the Ludendorff Offensive-which saw a series of German attacks along the Western Front, beginning on 21 March 1918, that marked the deepest advances by either side since 1914.An invaluable addition to any First World War book collection.
