Summary "The Story of the Great War, Volume III (of 12)" by Reynolds, Churchill, and Miller is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the initial stages of World War I, detailing the significant battles, tactics, and events as they unfolded in 1914. The narrative emphasizes key military operations, the experiences of soldiers, and the broader impact of the war on Europe, particularly the invasions and battles in Belgium and France. The opening of the text sets the stage for the war, starting with the German invasion of Belgium on August 4, 1914. It outlines the strategic planning behind the German armies' movements and the immediate resistance faced from Belgian forces. The account details the Battle of Liege, where Belgian general Leman leads his troops in a determined but ultimately unsuccessful defense against overwhelming German artillery and manpower. As the Germans advance, the text highlights the complexities of military strategy, the inadequacies of German intelligence, and the heroism of the Belgian defenders, capturing the chaos and intensity of the early days of the conflict.
