   Reader note

   This is the classic example of a poorly fought WWI battle. You should especially read the third book; it's basically the prototype of the WWI war. You can also read the first book, as it's more of an educational resource. The second book is particularly important; it's written after WWI and before World War II, meaning many WWI veterans were still alive at the time. Therefore, the war details described are accurate, giving you a better understanding of WWI tactics. Because I personally prefer WWI, I haven't included the "iron torrent" you might expect. If you see this but prefer "iron torrents," you can skip this.
