About This Item
This is a near-perfect copy of Amiens - Dawn of Victory, written in 2001 by the military historians James McWilliams and R. James Steel.
This is a trade paperback--it was apparently not published in hard cover.
Amiens (August 8-11 1918) was the first 'modern battle' attempted by the Allies. Employing secrecy, deception and the troops of five nations, the Allies won a string of victories which culminated in the Armistice 100 days later. Amiens was the decisive battle of World War I; it was called "the black day of the German army" and marked the beginning of the end of the war.
This book is the first to study the battle in real detail. Using eyewitness accounts from survivors, plus accounts from participants.
320 pages, with a few photographs and maps.
As you can see, the spine was cracked. But the book was not read. It is in pristine condition.
