The First World War (3) by Peter Simkins
This text describes the last great battles of attrition at Arras, on the Aisne and at Passchendaele in 1917. It then moves on to relate the successive offensives launched by Germany in 1918 in an effort to achieve victory or a favourable peace before American manpower proved decisive.
