The British attack at Amiens was the most decisive day of the Great
War. In earlier offensives, a gain of a few hundred yards counted
as a 'victory', but this time our troops advanced seven miles in a
day and broke clean through the German defences. The long agony on
the Western Front was nearly over. Spearheaded by tanks and
armoured cars and supported by the RAF, the attack was led by the
Australian and Canadian Corps, with British and French troops on
the flanks. Elaborate deception measures were employed to ensure
surprise. Drawing on both primary and secondary sources, as well as
eyewitness accounts, this book describes how the attack was
conceived, the preparations, and the actual assault itself, as well
as what happened on the subsequent days and how Amiens paved the
way for the final victorious Allied advance.
