He details troop movements that illustrate the rapid advance of Allied forces, all of which are analyzed using both traditional and bird's-eye-view maps.

Paperback. Etat : New. A highly illustrated study of the pivotal campaign that saw the Allied armies led by Field Marshal Haig break through the German Hindenburg Line in 1918, published in its centenary year.From 26 September until 8 October 1918, the Allied armies in France launched their largest ever combined offensive on the Western Front of World War I. The British, French, American and Belgian armies launched four attacks in rapid succession across a 250km front between the Argonne and Flanders. At the centre of this huge assault the British, First, Third and Fourth Armies, led by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, breached the formidable Hindenburg Line defences and drove the Kaiser's Army from its last fully prepared defensive position west of the German border.Alistair McCluskey explores the impact of this defeat and its shattering effect on the Germans, with their army admitting for the first time that an armistice was required to save it from annihilation. Although these decisive results were to a large extent consequences of the battle of the Hindenburg Line, the subsequent controversies over the conduct of the war meant that it went unheralded and has remained Haig's forgotten triumph. Dennis, Peter (illustrateur).…

Second Printing; Softcover. Etat : Fine. Cam 197 Series; B&W & color & Maps; 10 x 7"; 96 pages; Soft cover has white spine with black lettering. Slight rubbing to covers. Pages are clean and tight. Extensively illustrated with color and b/w pictures and maps. 'Through the spring of 1918 of World War I (1914-1918) , Germany had been on the offensive on the Western Front but had failed to break the Allies at any point. In July they had been forced back from the river Marne and were once again on the defensive. The Allies were now ready to increase the pressure. The Amiens area was selected and preparations were made in great secrecy with diversionary activity at other points on the line. 32 divisions were involved (twelve French, eight British, five Australian, four Canadian and one American) supported by over 500 tanks and overwhelming airpower. The first day saw an Allied advance of 5 miles across a 12-mile front, with over 27,000 German casualties. Progress was then less spectacular but by the time the battle ended on August 11 Germany had lost 75,000 men, and suffered a severe blow to morale. Amiens was notable for its successful application of the new combined-arms tactics, fully integrating infantry, artillery, armor and airpower at the commencement of the Allies' final, war-winning offensive. Published on the 90th anniversary of the battle, this book sets the strategic scene and clearly describes the fighting, highlighting the significance of the newly developed methods of war and detailing the troop movements that brought about the breakthrough and rapid advance that was achieved.'
