PREFATORY NOTE
On a scale before unknown in Western Europe, and save for the coincidentoperations in the Eastern theatre of war, unexampled in history, thesuccession of events named the "Battle of the Rivers" presentsillustrations of strategy and tactics of absorbing interest. Apart evenfrom the spectacular aspects of this lurid and grandiose drama, full asit is of strange and daring episodes, the problems it affords in thescience of war must appeal to every intelligent mind.
An endeavour is here made to state these problems in outline. In thelight they throw, events and episodes, which might otherwise appearconfused, will be found to fit into a clear sequence of causes andconsequences. The events and episodes themselves gain in grandeur astheir import and relationship are unfolded.
Since the story of the retreat from Mons has been told in another volumeof this series, it is only in the following pages dealt with so far asits military bearings elucidate succeeding phases of the campaign.
