BREAKTHROUGH by Hubert C Johnson The trench-warfare stalemate of World War I was the result of new technology and the cultural mindset of the times. The machine gun had made the battlefield unhabitable in the fifty years since the Civil War: it mowed down soldiers at an inconceivable rate. But the elaboration of defensive entrenchments early in World War I changed all that. An uneasy standoff ensued, an impasse that could not be broken, though commanders on both sides sacrificed thousands of men in the attempt. The problem was that they simply could not imagine any alternative to the frontal assault. It took a new breed of warrior, the adventurous captains and majors who championed technological innovations like tanks and airplanes, to break through the impasse1995, Presidio Press, , 089141505X,< D-01>,322pp, photos, map, 11 diagrams, ., Previous owner name on endpaper and title page.
