To Win A War by John Terraine
This book is a fascinating narrative history of the last year of the First World War. For the weary Allies 1918 was truly a year of victory. First came the defensive victories of the British and the French against the last desperate offensive launched by the Germans in the Spring. Then came the turning point of Foch's counter-offensive on the Marne followed by Haig's great attack on 8 August - 'the black day of the German Army' - the breaking of the Hindenburg Line and the pursuit of the defeated German Army across the wasteland of war. This challenging and perceptive book gives honour where it is due: to a victorious British Army in 1918.
John Terraine is the author of seven important works of military history including Douglas Haig: The Educated Soldier, The Road To Passchendaele and General Jack's Diary 1914-1918 (available in Cassell Military Paperbacks), and The Great War 1914-1918.
