Publishers Description: "The first major clash of the Great War, Mons came as a nasty shock to the Imperial German Army. Assured by their command that they would sweep the French and their British allies in the BEF -- that contemptible little army, into the sea in a matter of weeks; they were stopped in their tracks at Mons by a numerically inferior British force. Eventually forced to fall back by overwhelming German numbers, the British carried out a masterful fighting retreat across Belgium and northern France"--P. [4] of cover.
