Slaughter and Stalemate in 1917 - British Offensives From Messines Ridge to Cambrai

This book offers a fresh, critical history of the 1917 campaign in Flanders. Drawing on a rich array of sources, Warren provides a vivid account of two tragically mismanaged battles, showing that Cambrai further underlined what went wrong for British forces at Passchendaele and thus more fully explains the course of events on the Western front.
