The year 1918 was the most dramatic of the entire First World War. It was defined by vast battles that put the British Army under enormous pressure. In March, the army found itself fighting for survival in the face of the massive German Spring Offensive. After immense Allied efforts the assault was halted by the summer, at which point the British Army switched to a sustained offensive of its own in the Hundred Days Campaign.
This book brings together leading historians of the First World War to consider the British Army in the final year of the conflict. It includes essays that examine strategy, key commanders, logistics, training, tactics, airpower and armoured warfare. Lavishly illustrated and with full colour maps, this book provides many new insights that will be of great interest to any student of the First World War.
