Book excerpt / Historical analysis
The text analyzes the origins and nature of the First World War, focusing on the pervasive "cult of the offensive" and the mistaken belief that industrialization would lead to swift victories. It highlights the tragic reality of mechanized warfare, where tools like the machine gun, intended to shorten conflicts, instead led to prolonged slaughter and massive casualties, such as at the Somme.
