THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER'A timely re-appraisal a masterpiece' General Lord Richard Dannatt The Third Battle of Ypres was a 'lost victory' for the British Army in 1917 Between July & November 1917 in a small corner of Belgium more than 500000 men were killed or maimed gassed or drowned
- & many of the bodies were never found The Ypres offensive represents the modern impression of the First World War splintered trees water-filled craters muddy shell-holes The climax was one of the worst battles of both world wars Passchendaele The village fell eventually only for the whole offensive to be called off But as Nick Lloyd shows notably through previously overlooked German archive material it is striking how close the British came to forcing the German Army to make a major retreat in Belgium in October 1917 Far from being a pointless & futile waste of men the battle was a startling illustration of how effective British tactics & operations had become by 1917 & put the Allies nearer to a major turning point in the war than we have ever imagined Published for the 100th anniversary of this major conflict Passchendaele is the most compelling & comprehensive account ever written of the climax of trench warfare on the Western Front
