En savoir plus sur le livre
Written by one of the most respected and readable historians of the First World War, this book tells the story of how after all the setbacks of the previous years, in 1918 the British Army conclusively defeated the Germany Army. For the weary Allies 1918 was truly the year of victory. First came the defensive victories of the British and the French against the last desperate offensive launched by the Germans in the spring. Then came the turning point of Foch's counter-offensive on the Marne followed by Haig's great attack on 8 August - 'the black day of the German Army' - the breaking of the Hindenburg Line and the pursuit of the Germany Army across the wasteland of war. This compelling and perceptive book gives honour where it is due: to a victorious British Army in 1918.
