"By 1918, after three years of war, Europe was weary of the stalemate and the terrible slaughter on the Western Front. The Russian Front had collapsed but the United States had abandoned her neutral stance and joined the Allies. So the stage was set for what would be the last year of the Great War. Acclaimed military historian Barrie Pitt describes the savage battles that raged unceasingly along the Western front, and analyses the policies of the warring powers and studies the men who led them. From the German onslaught of 21st March 1918 - the Kaiser's Battle designed to force a resolution before America's armies could tip the balance - through the struggles in Champagne and the Second Battle of the Marne to the turning point in August and final victory, the author gathers together scattered material to make an enthralling book."--Back of book.;The deadlock -- At home -- Prospect of battle -- Peal of ordnance: St. Quentin -- Clash of arms: the Lys -- Crisis: the Battle of Chemin-des-Dames -- Point of balance -- The tilting scale: second Battle of the Marne -- Allied advance -- The grand assault -- Breaking point -- Epilogue and aftermath.
