Advance to Victory, July to September 1918 (British Expeditionary Force) Kindle Edition

by Andrew Rawson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
This is the story of the British Expeditionary Forces part in the opening days of the Advance to Victory. It starts with the contribution to the Battle of Fre-en-Tardenois in July; the counter-offensive which pushed the Germans back to the River Marne.Fourth Armys attack on 8 August was called the Black Day of the German Army, but it was only the beginning of 100 days of campaigning. The narrative follows the advance as it expands across the Somme, the Artois and the Flanders regions. Time and again the British and Empire troops used well-developed combined arms tactics to break through successive lines of defence. By the end of September, all five of the BEFs armies had reached the Hindenburg Line and were poised for the final advance.Each stage of the two month battle is given the same treatment, covering the details of the most talked about side of the campaign; the BEFs side. Over fifty new maps chart the day by day progress of the five armies and together with the narrative, explain the British Armys experience during the opening stages of the Advance to Victory. The men who made a difference are mentioned; those who led the advances, those who stopped the counter-attacks and those who were awarded the Victoria Cross. Discover the beginning of the Advance to Victory and learn how the British Army had mastered the art of attack.

    Another excellent book by Andrew Rawson, excellent maps to complement the narrative.

    2.0 out of 5 stars More suited to wargamers or diorama makers?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 30, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Not what I was expecting. Rather than an holistic and detailed miltary analysis of the tactics and strategy of the summer 1918 battles, it seemed to be little more than a lsiting of the small unit actions that made up those battles, perhaps making the book more suited to wargamers or diorama makers? Although there were plenty maps, they were not easily readable, did not relate to all the actions, and had no directional arrows or markers. I am just about to start on Rawson’s “The Final Advance” so expect to be equally disappointed.
