Synopsis
Inside the World War I frontline, learn how tactics evolved from static trenches to mobile defense and counterattacks. This edition examines the methods behind a nation’s defense in depth, the use of smoke and gas, and the rise of specialized weapons like minenwerfers to shape battle outcomes. It also explains how commanders balanced mobility, protection, and firepower to hold ground and respond to surprise attacks.
In clear, scope-focused chapters, you’ll see:
- How front lines were defended with depth zones, foreground garrisons, and decisive counterattacks.
- The role of gas masks, gas defense officers, and the shift to gas as a strategic tool.
- The development and deployment of smoke, smoke screens, and smoke-related tactics.
- How mines, mortars, and light artillery integrated with infantry for both defense and assault.
- What modern defenses demanded from leaders, troops, and logistics in prolonged battles.
- How coordination between infantry, artillery, and engineers shaped effective resistance.
- The importance of rest, organization, and flexible plans over brute force alone.
Ideal for readers of military history and World War I tactics, this book offers a practical look at how defense shaped strategy and outcomes on the battlefield.
