Brown, who has edited several similar volumes, here collects raw material from the Imperial War Museum's unrivalled collection of officers' and soldiers' memories. He welds them into a riveting account of the impact on the British army in France of the great German attacks of March 1918. Then he shows how the allied armies moved over to a still more effective offensive of their own, which broke the German army in the field; the War stopped, and an epidemic of deadly influenza took on the task of killing. He carries through to the problems of demobilization, and to the war's political aftermath: a book provoking plenty of thought. (Kirkus UK)
