1918 - The Decisive Year
1918 - The Decisive
Year
£6.00
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.

1918: The Year Of Victories By Arcturus Publishing - Martin Marix
Evans (Paperback)

At the outset of 1918 Germany faced certain defeat as a result of Allied technical innovation in tanks and aircraft, and 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 and the storm-trooper infantry attack. 1918 examines both the Germans' tactics and the Allies' preferred solution to fighting this war, the combination of artillery, tanks, infantry and aircraft, and argues that this reached a level of sophistication in command and 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. Product Information:• ISBN: 9781784289966• Author: Martin Marix Evans• Publisher: Arcturus• Format: Paperback• Pages: 240• Dimensions: 20 x 13 x 1.5cm
