Synopsis
Focusing on 1916, this work examines the actions of the principal commanders as they sought for a way to win the war and opted for the deadly notion of attrition: the notion that it was only possible to win by killing a vast quantity of soldiers. It points at the failure of high command to to realize that until new offensive technology was invented to overcome the current bias of defensive technology, the death toll could only rise., At the start of 1916 the Western Front Franco-British armies were hopeful...new technology - tanks and aircraft - was about to appear and they were about to mount co-ordinated offenses. Unfortunately the Germans struck first, at Verdun. Up to then the fighting had cost some two million lives...by the end of 1916 it had risen to four million - with negligible territorial gains. Focussing on this crucial year author Neillands, in a controversial and compelling text, points at the failure of the high commands to realise that until new offensive technology was invented to overcome the bias of defensive technology, the death toll could only rise. When that fatal year ended, victory and peace were as far away as ever, and another two million men had been lost.
