American Expeditionary Force France 1917 - 1918: Images of War Series by Jack Holroyd
When the United States entered the war in April 1917 the belligerents were approaching exhaustion. It had been hoped by the Generals in both Britain and France that untold numbers of fresh troops would be assimilated into their respective commands. However, this idea was firmly resisted, America would field its own army alongside the Allies - it would have its own section on the front line. Those with concerns that the untried divisions under General Pershing would fair badly against the seasoned German military machine were soon reassured as impressive victories were won by the newcomers.The book is split into eight chapters which deal with different pivotal moments during the First World War from the American perspective, from the reasons behind the American involvement in the war and initial training to the major battles at Cantigny, Chateau Thierry and St Mihiel.This story is told in pictures gleaned from the official archives which were first published in 1920 and now presented for re-examination and public awareness in the Images of War series.
Another in the ever growing and remarkable 'Images of war' series of booksThis fine collection of rare photographs taken from wartime archives, many previously unpublished, shows the United States at war. Split into eight chapters, each deals with a different pivotal moment as seen and experienced by the Americans from their initial involvement through training and the major battles until the Armistice. - Great War Magazine
