The dominating Blanc Mont Ridge complex in the Champagne region of
France was home to some of the most complex German defences on the
Western Front. Its heights offered artillery observation that made
even approaching the ridge virtually suicidal. Pessimistic about
the ability of depleted and demoralized French units to capture the
position, General Henri Gouraud was granted the use of two American
divisions: the veteran 2nd "Indianhead" Division, including the 4th
(Marine) Brigade, and the untested 36th "Arrowhead" Division of the
Texas and Oklahoma National Guard.
This fully illustrated book
describes this Allied offensive with American troops in the
vanguard, and shows how despite the heavy losses it sustained to
both manpower and supporting armour, they eventually forced the
Germans to abandon most of the region in one of the largest
withdrawals of the war.
