4.0 out of 5 stars THE FORGOTTEN FRONT, 20 April 2008
By Anthony J. Fleetwood (Wheathampstead, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Gordon Root is to be congratulated on a highly readable, and well researched, account of the huge conflict on the Eastern Front of the Great War, so frequently overlooked by historians, transfixed by events on the Western Front. The scale of the conflict can be ilustrated by a few statistics, such as the lenght of the front, close to 1000 miles, the participation of 300+ Divisions,and the total casualty figures estimated to be in excess of 15 million. The political and ethnic complexities of this conflict are explained in detail, and the "Balkanised" route from Sarajevo to full scale war well documented. In contrast to the Western Front, this was a war of movement, with huge advances and retreats in both directions, before the Russian revolution, and the Armistice in the West brought matters to a close. All this is admirably described in this volume, with many fascinating glimpses of the conditions endured and the personalities involved. Unfortunately, due to publishing problems, the maps are not easy to read, but the book remains a "must" for those whose interest extends beyond the Western Front, or, indeed, those who consider that front to have been the only significant battlefield of the Great War.
