Book Reviews of The Guns of August

Book Review: Best account on the beginning of World War I
Summary: 5 Stars

A lively recollection of origins, decision makers and events that led to World War I and a vivid development of the first month of this war. Once you read it you will never forget Joffre, Galieni or von Kluck in the Marne battle or the battle of Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes which made Hindeburg the national hero of the Germans.
