1918: The Final Year of the Great War to Armistice is the next volume in the remarkable series of books from the best-selling First World War historian Richard van Emden.

Revisiting the winning formula of diaries & memoirs, & above all original photographs taken on illegally-held cameras by the soldiers themselves, Richard tells the story of 1918, of both the ferocious spring offensive that so nearly brought victory for the Germans in the West, & the tenacious British rearguard fight that thwarted them.

The book also tells the vivid story of the Allied breakthrough & the return to open warfare that was to bring victory in November 1918.

His previous books, The Road to Passchendaele & The Somme have sold over 30, 000 copies in hardback & softback, proving that the public appetite is undiminished for new, original stories illustrated with over 150 rarely or never-before-seen battlefield images.

At the outset of 1918 Germany faced certain defeat as a result of Allied technical innovation in tanks & aircraft, & the American entry into the war. Victory could only be gained by the immediate application of overwhelming force in new tactical form; the 'fire-waltz' artillery barrage & the storm-trooper infantry attack. 1918 examines both the Germans' tactics & the Allies' preferred solution to fighting this war, the combination of artillery, tanks, infantry & aircraft, & argues that this reached a level of sophistication in command & control never before achieved. The war of attrition was far from over, but as more Americans arrived in France the ghastly cost became affordable. For the Germans, it became a question of whether they could negotiate an armistice before their armies were utterly destroyed.
