1918: The Fight for Victory. The Decisive Year in Soldiers' Own
Words and Photographs is the next volume in the remarkable series
of books from the best-selling First World War historian Richard
van Emden. Revisiting the winning formula of diaries and memoirs,
and above all original photographs taken on illegally-held cameras
by the soldiers themselves, Richard tells the story of 1918, of
both the ferocious spring offensive that so nearly brought victory
for the Germans in the West, and the tenacious British rearguard
fight that thwarted them. The book also tells the vivid story of
the Allied breakthrough and the return to open warfare that was to
bring victory in November 1918. His previous books, The Road to
Passchendaele and The Somme have sold over 30,000 copies in
hardback and softback, proving that the public appetite is
undiminished for new, original stories illustrated with over 150
rarely or never-before-seen battlefield images. The author has an
outstanding collection of over 5,000 privately-taken and
overwhelmingly unpublished photographs, revealing the war as it was
seen by the men involved, an existence that was sometimes
exhilarating, too often terrifying, and occasionally even fun. This
book will be published in September 2018, in time for the 100th
anniversary of the Armistice and the national commemorations that
will mark the end of the four-year-long series of centennial events
to mark the Great War.
