Description

How the War Was Won examines the British Expeditionary Force's decisive role in defeating the German army on the Western Front during the final year of the First World War. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work explores the critical themes of command and technology as warfare evolved from late 1917 through 1918. Drawing on extensive unpublished archival material from Britain and Canada, the author provides detailed analysis of the British army's defensive strategies against the German spring offensive of 1918 and investigates whether mechanical warfare could have been deployed more extensively. The book offers historians, military scholars and students of the First World War valuable insights into the operational methods, tactical innovations and strategic decisions that shaped the conflict's conclusion on the Western Front.
