I picked up this third volume in Osprey’s “Essential Histories: The Western Front 1917-1918” by Peter Simkins at a local bookstore on the bargain rack and I am beaming with pleasure that I did. Filled with poignant images and battles described with elegant color maps, Mr. Simkins eloquently hacks through the common fiction and brings to the fore the facts regarding the dynamics and collaboration of the allies in winning the First World War. That I was able to pick up these Osprey editions –I managed to find three volumes in this series on the same shelf- for only two-dollars was icing on the cake.

In this, the second volume covering the war on the Western Front, Peter Simkins describes the last great battles of attrition at Arras, on the Aisne and at Passchendaele in 1917. Then he moves on to relate the successive offensives launched by Germany in the spring and summer of 1918 in an effort to achieve victory or a favourable peace before American manpower proved decisive. Again, questioning and correcting several myths and long-held assumptions about the nature and conduct of waron the Western Front, the author also looks at the aftermath and legacy of the 'war to end wars'.
