- The World Wars
In the spring of 1918, the German army launched a series of devastating offensives against the French and British lines on the Western Front. For four months they literally threw everything they had at the Allies, sending them back as far as the Marne. But despite the most appalling losses, they could not defeat the British and when the German advance ran out of steam in the summer, the Allies finally turned the tables and began the astonishing advance that was to end the war.
Using the dramatic personal accounts of the men who were there, both commanders and soldiers, Peter Hart evokes the sheer tension of waiting for the German attack, the desperate turbulence of the retreat and the thrilling turn of the tide to life ended the war. As a chronicle of the mighty offensives of 1918, it is unparalleled in its scope and depth.
