Book Overview

The Secret of the Marne: How Sergeant Fritsch Saved France is a historical account of the crucial role played by Sergeant Fritsch during the Battle of the Marne in World War I. Written by Marcel Berger and originally published in 1918, the book tells the story of how Fritsch, a German soldier who had defected to the French army, provided critical intelligence that helped the French army thwart a major German offensive in August 1914. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the Battle of the Marne, including the German army's rapid advance towards Paris and the French army's desperate efforts to halt their progress. It also describes the key role played by Fritsch, who was able to provide the French with vital information about the German army's movements and plans. The Secret of the Marne is a gripping and suspenseful account of one of the most important battles of World War I, and the bravery and heroism of one man who helped turn the tide of the war. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the experiences of soldiers on both sides of the conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
