The Incompetency
of the
General Staff
- on Both Sides

• The English Review, 1920 •

An anonymous book reviewer gave us a clear description of the 1914 drive on Paris and the disaster that was the Gallipoli campaign.

The books reviewed were penned by two of the war’s principal players: The March on Paris by General Alexander Von Kluck (1846-1934) and Gallipoli Diary by General Sir Ian Hamilton (1853-1957).

“The story of the German onrush and it’s memorable check can now be pieced together with accuracy. It tallies with the account of General Sir Frederick Maurice. We now know that the Germans failed through want of General Staff control, through inadequate “intelligence”, above all, through striking at two fronts at the same time.”

1929 was the year many of the finest W.W. I books were published…
