But what was unclear was how this defeat would play out - would the Germans hold on, prolonging the fighting deep into 1919, with the loss of hundreds of thousands more young lives, or could the war be won in 1918? In \u003ci\u003eThe Last Battle\u003c/i\u003e, Peter Hart, author of \u003ci\u003eGallipoli\u003c/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Great War\u003c/i\u003e, and oral historian at the Imperial War Museum, brings to life the dramatic final weeks of the war, as men fought to secure victory, with survival seemingly only days, or hours away. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the experience of both generals and ordinary soldiers, and dwelling with equal weight on strategy, tactics and individual experience, this is a powerful and detailed account of history's greatest endgame.\u003c/p\u003e |
