Interest in the First World War, or Great War, continues unabated.
New angles are sought, fresh interpretations penned. Equally, much
previously published material resides long-forgotten in the pages
of now-rarely-consulted journals and periodicals. Landrecies to
Cambrai reprints an extensive series of articles that ran, on an
irregular basis, in the Army Quarterly from January 1924 until
April 1939. Each article presents a detailed account of a specific
German military operation on the Western Front- usually with detail
down to battalion level. The author utilised an extensive array of
original German sources, including regimental histories and
operational-level narratives, ensuring a remarkable amount of
colour and detail are present in the text. Operations covered
include: The night attack at Landrecies, 25 August 1914; Neuve
Chapelle, 10-12 March 1915; Aubers Ridge, 9 May 1915; The fight for
Hill 70, 25-26 September 1915; The German attack at Vimy Ridge, May
1916; The German defence during the Battle of the Somme, July 1916;
The German defence of Bernafay and Trones Woods, 2-14 July 1916;
Mametz Wood and Contalmaison, 9-10 July 1916; Delville Wood, 14-19
July 1916; The Somme, 15 September 1916; The capture of Thiepval,
26 September 1916; In front of Beaumont-Hamel, 13 November 1916;
Battle of Arras, 9 April 1917; The Battle of Vimy Ridge, 9 April
1917; The fight for Inverness Copse, 22-24 August 1917; The fight
for Zonnebeke, 26 September 1917; Cambrai - the action of the
German 107th Division. All original maps are also included.
Landrecies to Cambrai offers a unique perspective and much
hitherto-overlooked material relating to a wide variety of German
operations on the Western Front 1914-17.
