Key quote: John Keegan, among other historians, has gone to great length to point out how there's an accordion-like backup that begins once the timetable isn't held too strictly.
The host references John Keegan to illustrate the complexities of the German defense strategy during the First World War. Keegan's insights help explain the deceptive nature of battlefield successes and the resulting chaos for the French forces.
