Fire and Movement offers a fresh look at the first months of the Great War. Considering each of the major offenses of 1914, from the Battle of the Frontiers to the Battle of Ypres and the genesis of trench warfare, renowned military historian Peter Hart argues that the real story of the opening campaigns of World War I is far different from the mythology that has come to surround it.
