Summary "The Marne Battle-fields (1914)" by Pneu Michelin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as both a practical guide and a historical narrative for tourists interested in the sites significant to the Battle of the Marne during World War I. It combines detailed descriptions of the battlefields with contextual information, enhancing the understanding of the events that transpired in these areas and the impact of the war on the landscape and communities. At the start of the book, the foreword establishes its dual purpose: to inform tourists who wish to visit the battlefields and to provide a historical context that deepens the significance of their visit. The authors emphasize the emotional weight of witnessing the ruins and scars of war, suggesting that understanding the past transforms the experience from mere sightseeing into a pilgrimage. They also indicate that the main historical section, which begins shortly after the foreword, presents a summarized account of the Battle of the Marne and crucial preceding events, supplemented with maps and illustrations to guide readers through the geographical and historical landscape of the conflict.
