The Battle of the Marne

"The Battle of the Marne" by G. H. (George Herbert) Perris is a historical book that tells the story of a very important battle in World War I. It's about the Battle of the Marne in September 1914, when the French and their allies fought the German army. The book probably explains the plans the French used, how the soldiers moved, and how the leaders made their choices when France was in danger. At the start of World War I, many armies were losing, and the book shows how difficult things were for the soldiers and people who were not soldiers. The French army had suffered shock losses when fighting the powerful German army and really needed to find a way to work together and lead well to stop total failure, helping setup the actions that would impact the Marne greatly.
