000006-FMFRP 12-4 Battlefields of the World War-1921 682 Pages 1921 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT This reference publication examines the effects of terrain on various World War I battles. It provides valuable perspectives on the effect of terrain on military operations. The original title of this document as published in 1921, was Battlefields of the World War, Western and Southern Fronts, A Study in Military Geography. The object of this document is to demonstrate the fallacy of the contention that modern methods of warfare have reduced to insignificance the role of the terrain as a factor in strategy and tactics. This might be demonstrated by showing that, despite improvements in the artillery and other arms of the service, it is the infantry that must drive back the enemy and conquer the ground he holds. While this document contains numerous maps, drawings and pictures, they are almost uniformly poor quality. THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT- THIS IS AN EBOOK.
