After the great battles of 1916, the Allied Armies planned to
launch massive attacks North and South of the Somme. The German
withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line in March 1917 forced the new
French CinC General Nivelle to rethink and the French embarked on a
major attack in the Aisne area and along the Chemin des Dames, with
the British conducting large scale diversionary operations around
Arras. The French suffered disastrously and, rendered incapable of
further offensive operations, it fell to the British to step up the
pressure, which they did albeit at a terrible price. This latest
work by expert Jack Sheldon describes the event of Spring 1917 from
the defenders' perspective. In particular it reveals the methods
the Germans used to smash the French attacks and Oberst Fritz von
Lossberg's transformation of the defences in the Arras front.
Actions described in detail are the bitter battles around Monchy Le
Preun, the Roeux Chemical works and Bullecourt as well as the
capture of Vimy Ridge.
