To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The French and Latin tradi- tion seems to the German pusillanimous, and connected with that decadence which he perceives in every expression of civiliza- tion from Athens to Paris. The modern \, THE EUROPEAN WAR. 185 German conception seems to the French theatrical, divorced from reaUty, and hence fundamentally weak. Either critic may be right or either wrong. Our interest is to follow the particular schemes developing from that tone of mind. We shall see how, in the first phases of the war, th...e German conception strikingly justified itself for more than ten days ; how, after a fortnight, it was embarrassed by its opponent ; and how at the end of a month the German initiative was lost under the success — only barely achieved after dreadful risk — of the French plan.
That plan, inherited from the strategy of Napoleon, and designed in particular to achieve the success of a smaller against a larger number, may be most accurately defined as the open strategic square^ and its leading principle is " the method of detached reserves.
