To the Last Man: Spring 1918

This is the 7th in a series of acclaimed histories by the leading chronicler of the First World War. It describes the first momentous months of 1918 when the long stalemate of the trenches was brought to an end by a massive German assault on the Western Front. It broke the British line - and it almost broke the British Army. This is the account of the historic battle, the long fighting retreat and the vital stand at Amiens which saved the city, secured the fragile line and caused Ludendorff to call off his first ambitious offensive. But, above all, it is the story of the men who were there. To the Last Man, Spring 1918 is a vivid panorama, with all the tragedy and humour that reveals the human face of the armies in the field.
