Breakthrough : the Gorlice-Tarnów campaign, 1915
"The eastern front in the Great War 1914-18 is forgotten no more. Richard DiNardo offers the first analysis in three decades of that titanic struggle by concentrating on the breakthrough battle of Gorlice-Tarnow in May 1915. It is a great read. By exploiting the German Federal Military Archive and the Bavarian Military Archive, DiNardo penetrates what he calls the `kaleidoscopic complexity of World War I at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels.' It is a study of command, control, and communications. It is military history at its finest. It is a must read for military `buffs' and professionals alike."--Holger H. Herwig Author of The Marne, 1914 : The Opening of World War I and the Battle That Changed the World
