Summary "The Battle of the Marne" by G. H. Perris is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the pivotal World War I battle that occurred in September 1914, which marked a significant turning point in the war against German forces. The narrative likely addresses the strategies of the French and allied armies, the detailed movements of troops, and the complexities of military leadership during a crucial moment when the fate of France hung in the balance. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of the early stages of World War I, highlighting the chaotic situation as multiple armies faced defeat and retreat. Perris captures the struggles of soldiers and civilians alike, painting a vivid portrait of the turmoil as French forces grappled with unexpected losses and the overwhelming might of the German military. He emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated strategy and leadership as the French rallied to avoid complete disaster, laying the groundwork for the subsequent decisive actions at the Marne.
