SUMMARY
Count Helmuth von Moltke was the first modern war planner. His accomplishment was to develop, bring to fruition and validate the war processes invented during his lifetime. His purpose in this book was to give a concise account of the war. But while keeping this in view, he involuntarily - as was inevitable from his position - contemplated the task from his own standpoint as Chief of the General Staff, and arranged events in connection with a general scheme which could only be known at head-quarters. Thus this work, which was undertaken in all simplicity of purpose, as a popular history, is practically from beginning to end the expression of a private opinion of the war from the Field-Marshal himself
