An unmissable book that explores the brutal, heroic and
extraordinary final days of the First World War On the eleventh
hour of the eleventh day in November 1918, the guns of the Western
Front fell silent. The Armistice, which brought the Great War to an
end, marked a seminal moment in modern European and World history.
Yet the story of how the war ended remains little-known. In this
compelling and ground-breaking new study, Nick Lloyd examines the
last days of the war and asks the question: how did it end?
Beginning at the heralded turning-point on the Marne in July 1918,
Hundred Days traces the epic story of the next four months, which
included some of the bloodiest battles of the war. Using
unpublished archive material from five countries, this new account
reveals how the Allies - British, French, American and Commonwealth
- managed to beat the German Army, by now crippled by indiscipline
and ravaged by influenza, and force her leaders to seek peace. THE
WESTERN FRONT BY NICK LLOYD IS AVAILABLE NOW 'This is a powerful
and moving book by a rising military historian. Lloyd's depiction
of the great battles of July-November provides compelling evidence
of the scale of the Allies' victories and the bitter reality of
German defeat' Gary Sheffield (Professor of War Studies) 'Lloyd
enters the upper tier of Great War historians with this admirable
account of the war's final campaign' Publishers Weekly
