The Schlieffen Plan

Schlieffen? Nearly everyone knows who he was and no-one is in any doubt about his work: he devised the plan of attack for the German army in 1914, namely to cross our country to defeat France before turning back to fight against Russia! A somewhat simplistic and inaccurate view, but one which will undoubtedly be widespread for a long time, unless you read this fascinating book (1), written by Christophe Bechet, an assistant at the University of Liège and specialist in the history of the First World War.
