The greatest campaign in British military history began with the battle of Amiens on 8 August 1918 and ended with the Armistice on 11 November. Paul Harris shows how the British Expeditionary Force, in which Dominion troops played a crucial role, put into practise all the costly lessons of four years of intense fighting, employing battle proven technology and tactics to win a series of stunning victories. In this new account of the campaign, Harris’s balanced assessment of Haig's generalship combined with his analysis of the British Expeditionary Force as a war machine will be of particular interest too many readers.
