aiwac Posted 18 December , 2014 Share Posted 18 December , 2014 The following article directly refutes a key contention of Norman Stone, namely that the Russian defeat in 1915 was exacerbated by a fight between two "schools" of thought: one aristocratic and conservative, the other middle class and modernizing. Rather, the author claims the main reason for the disasters of 1915 had to do with high command indecisiveness in making key decisions - a problem which would haunt the Red Army a generation later. http://wih.sagepub.com/content/22/1/47.full.pdf+html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
