German Offensives of 1918, The: Campaign Chronicle Series - the Last Desperate Gamble by Ian Passingham
Few pivotal years in history are less understood than that of 1918. It was a momentous period, which began with Germany's desperate gamble to win the Great War through a sequence of offensives on the Western Front. Ian Passingham's graphic new study draws on a wide range of original German, British and French sources, and it features previously unpublished eyewitness accounts and photographs. He boldly reassesses German military doctrine, the strategic thinking behind the offensives and the effectiveness of the stormtroop tactics used. He also considers how the poor state of German military morale and the privations and unrest of the German people contributed to the army's defeat.Ian Passingham is a veteran journalist who has worked for both local and national publications for over 30 years. He joined the Daily Star in 1994 as a sports sub-editor after working for Essex County Newspapers as a news reporter, news editor, and sports editor. He joined the Sun as an assistant sports editor in 2003 and has spent the previous 12 years as a senior SunSport production journalist.
