520    This book will provide an entirely fresh way of looking at
       the Battle of the Somme 1916. It will not be a rehashed 
       narrative history of the battle. Instead, drawing heavily 
       on examples that can be illustrated through exploitation 
       of the primary sources still available in abundance in the
       archives at Stuttgart and Munich and anecdotal accounts, 
       it will explain how and why the German defence was 
       designed and conducted as it was. There will be 
       descriptions of the reasons for the dominance of the Great
       General Staff, the tensions between commanders and staff, 
       the disagreements between the commanders of First and 
       Second Army and the replacement of General von Falkenhayn 
       with the duumvirate of Hindenburg and Ludendorff.Specific 
       case studies will include the loss and recapture of 
       Schwaben Redoubt on 1 July, the British assault on the 
       Second Position of 14 July, the tank attack at Flers 15 
       September and the autumn battles for Sailly Saissisel and 
       St Pierre Vaast Wood. This will ensure that there is 
       plenty to interest the general reader as well as showing 
       how the various levels of command from regiment to army 
       group operated and responded to emergencies and crises. 
       Space will be devoted to changes in command philosophy, 
       the introduction of new weapons and equipment and the 
       evolution of tactics to counter the massive Allied 
       superiority in manpower and materiel.  EPUB3: Reflowable
