"(...) the actions of the 2nd and 3rd Austrian armies during August 1914 in the entire area east of Lviv. This area, which I refer to by the term "Eastern Lesser Poland," includes today's Stanislawow and Ternopil provinces and part of Lwow, up to the Rawa Ruska - Sadovaya Vishnia - Sambor line and the former Bukovina, which now belongs to Romania. This is where the two sides will meet in two consecutive clashes over Zolota and Gnila Lipa. (...) The purpose of the work is to consider these operations essentially from the point of view of the Austrian command. This is, in fact, imposed by the materials being disposed of. The Russian side is presented in general terms; the guideline here was only to strive to emphasize Austrian operations." [excerpt].
