About This Item
London: Allen Lane, 2019. 1st edition. As New. octavo. dust jacket xxii + 346pp., colour & b/w plates, text ills., maps, notes, appends., bibliog., index, In the autumn of 1914 Europe was at war. On both Western and Eastern fronts elaborate war plans had been discarded in favour of desperate improvisation. In the West this resulted in the remorseless world of the trenches; in the East all eyes were focused on the old, beleaguered Austro-Hungarian fortress of Przemysl. The great siege that unfolded was the longest of WWI. In the defence of the fortress and the struggle to relieve it Austria-Hungary suffered some 800,000 casualties.
