Synopsis

A pioneering study of the pre-war military conversations between England, France, and Belgium, and the evolution of British foreign policy in the decade that saw the coming of WWI. The book sheds important light on how Britain came to drop its isolationist policies, how the Western Front came into existence, how Sir Henry Wilson evolved a strategy and plan and brought about the 1911 agreement, what effect Sir Edward Grey's military conversations with France had on the situation, and what the political and strategic aspects of the relations between the countries were on the eve of war.
