New York, NY, U.S.A.: Atheneum, 1988. 447pp, b&w photographs, 13 maps, bibliography, author's note, index, map (The Western Front -- 1914 with The Schlieffen Plan inset) as endpapers, FINE/NEAR FINE. ** ~Lyn Macdonald continues her history of the First World War with an account of the first months of the fighting, culminating in the first Battle of Ypres. She describes the build-up and the causes of the war, brings to life the spirit of the times, and tells in detail how Britain sent her Expeditionary Force ("The Old Contemptibles") to join the Belgians and the French to fight the Kaiser's army, which had invaded "Gallant Little Belgium". She tells how they fought the Battle of Mons, the first major engagement of the war, how they fought their way back in Flanders to face a gruelling campaign that eventually led to the entrenchment of the opposing forces along the Western Front and the annihilation of the old army.
