Summary: "1914" by Field-Marshal Viscount French of Ypres is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the early phases of World War I, particularly focusing on the British Expeditionary Force and its operations in France and Belgium. The narrative explores the strategic sessions, military strategies, and personal reflections of the author as he prepares his troops for war. The opening of "1914" sets the stage for the unfolding historical drama by detailing the author's perspectives leading up to the war. French recounts his experiences on the Committee of Imperial Defence, the political atmosphere preceding the conflict, and his appointment to lead the British forces as they mobilize for battle. He discusses the tense moments of early August 1914, including interactions with military leaders and key figures, and his reflections on the potential for war, as well as his plans for the British Army in conjunction with the French military. Overall, the beginning illustrates a keen awareness of the gravity of the impending conflict and the steps taken to prepare for it. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
