This book is an investigation of Anglo-French military planning in relation to the strengthening of the diplomatic Entente as well as the changed conception of British and French strategic plans and development of forces. Several related factors are also dealt with, including the creation of the British Expeditionary Force and the reconstitution of the British Fleet.
According to circumstances, Russian and Belgian planning is correlated with that of France and Britain. The revival of Russian military power is considered as a crucial element, to be taken in conjunction with planned British support to bring about the French decision to undertake a strategic offensive position against Germany. Acquaintance with the political tensions existing before the First World War, particularly the Morocco crisis, as well as the motivation underlying the British-French Entente is assumed.
