Jim Hastings Posted 29 December , 2011 Share Posted 29 December , 2011 '1918 A Very British Victory' by Peter Hart is also good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Armstrong Custer Posted 29 December , 2011 Share Posted 29 December , 2011 Both Charles and Pete's books are excellent recommendations. This, however, from the man who was Fourth Army's MGGS 1916 - 1919 is an essential starting point. Fourth Army was a central component in Haig's 'Hundred Days' victories, and while it's nice to have the original 1920 print edition with its case of maps, it can be read here for free: The Story of the Fourth Army in the Battles of the Hundred Days August 8th to November 11th 1918 George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H Posted 30 December , 2011 Share Posted 30 December , 2011 '1918 A Very British Victory' by Peter Hart is also good I concur - an excellent read. Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hastings Posted 30 December , 2011 Share Posted 30 December , 2011 There is also 'To Win A War -1918 The Year of Victory ' by John Terraine from Cassell, quite cheap on Amazon if I remember rightly. I had to write a comparative degree-level essay on the BEF 1918 to 1939/40 and Messenger, Hart and Terraine (among others) helped immensely. (I also used Tim Travers' 'How the War was Won' - Pen & Sword publication, not sure if fits best what you are after though) All the best Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
