The author of The First Day on the Somme details what it was like during the 1918 Spring Offensive during World War I, which led to Germany’s defeat. At 9:30 AM on March 21, 1918, the last great battle of the First World War commenced when three German armies struck a massive blow against the weak divisions of the British Third and Fifth Armies. It was the first day of what the Germans called the Kaiserschlacht (the Kaiser’s Battle), the series of attacks that were intended to break the deadlock on the Western Front, knock the British Army out of the war, and finally bring victory to Germany… In the event, the cost of the gamble was so heavy that once the assault faltered, it remained for the Allies to push the exhausted German armies back and the war was at last over. Praise for The Kaiser’s Battle “The clever blending of written and oral accounts from some 650 surviving British and German soldiers makes the book an extremely convincing reconstruction.” —The Sunday Times (UK) “Mr. Middlebrook’s industry and patience are displayed in his amazing collection of eyewitness accounts, the compassion in his commentary, the good sense in his analysis.” —Daily Telegraphy (UK)

The author of All the Kaiser’s Men provides “a very helpful reference . . . to the battles which finally led to the German Army’s defeat in the field.” —The Western Front Association Few pivotal years in history are less understood than that of 1918. It was a momentous period, which began with Germany’s desperate gamble to win the Great War through a sequence of offensives on the Western Front. Ian Passingham’s graphic new study draws on a wide range of original German, British and French sources, and it features previously unpublished eyewitness accounts and photographs. He boldly reassesses German military doctrine, the strategic thinking behind the offensives and the effectiveness of the stormtroop tactics used. He also considers how the poor state of German military morale and the privations and unrest of the German people contributed to the army's defeat.

George Nichols was an artillery officer serving with the 82nd Brigade, Royal Field Artillery. He was wounded in 1917, and returned to the guns in March 1918, just in time to experience the fury of the Kaiserschlacht, the great German offensive designed to knock the British army out of the war. Nichols wrote a powerful account of the Kaiser's last great offensive battle from inside the eye of the storm, and it is one of the few primary source accounts which are told from the often overlooked perspective of the British artillerymen. Nichols, with wonderful British reserve, records how the men of the Royal Field Artillery steadfastly manned their guns. Nichols survived the onslaught and in 1919, was able to produce a full account of both the retreat and the British counter-attack which won back the lost ground. First published in 1919, while censorship was still in force, this wonderful primary source has long been out of print and it's welcome return makes for essential reading for anyone with an interest in the Great War.

It is 1918 and the Germans are planning one last roll of the dice. They think they will win the Great War. The Knaves have other ideas... In the early months of 1918 both British and German forces are exhausted, but the war to end all wars shows little sign of abating. Until, that is, the Kaiser decides to give it one last roll of the dice. Determined to stop him, the allies call upon the Knaves, a crack team of covert operations and intelligence-gathering operatives drawn originally from the Pals regiments of the north-east of England. Yet as the Knaves risk life and limb to carry out the strategic sabotage required and gather intelligence vital to the war effort, back in Blighty the politicians are getting involved -- and that's not always a good thing. As political ambitions clash with military expertise, the Knaves see at first hand what the effects of war -- of starvation, exhaustion, constant distress and imbalances of power -- can do to fighting men. As the German war machine gathers momentum, will the Knaves manage to stop it with subterfuge, or are there forces much closer to home that will do the job for them, albeit rather more brutally? Pals War: Kaiserschlacht, the Spring Offensive paints an unflinching and highly accurate portrait of the Great War, focusing particularly on the strategic and practical elements of its final year, when the very nature of war changed forever. It is bound to appeal to fans of modern and military history, particularly those who have read other titles in the author's 'Pals War' series of novels. Praise for AAG Whitehead "You truly get a sense of the stupidity of politicians dabbling in military matters. Great action as our boys, out-numbered and out-gunned, hold back the flood of Imperial Germany" -- Bob Clarke Andy Whitehead was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire and originally trained in engineering, then spent many years in the fire service. He has written several novels, largely on historical themes, including the Pals War series and Passchendaele Calling, all of which are set during Word War I.
