The existence of the Schlieffen plan has been one of the basic assumptions of        twentieth-century military history. It was the perfect example of the evils of        German militarism: aggressive, mechanical, disdainful of politics and of public        morality. The Great War began in August 1914 allegedly because the Schlieffen plan        forced the German government to transform a Balkan quarrel into a World War by        attacking France. And, in the end, the Schlieffen plan failed at the battle of the        Marne.Yet it has always been recognized that the Schlieffen plan included        inconsistencies which have never been satisfactorily explained. On the basis of        newly discovered documents from German archives, Terence Zuber presents a radically        different picture of German war planning between 1871 and 1914, and concludes that,        in fact, there never really was a `Schlieffen plan'.
