Описание: THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER'A timely re-appraisal . . .

a masterpiece' General Lord Richard DannattThe Third Battle of Ypres was a 'lost victory' for the British Army in 1917. Between July and November 1917, in a small corner of Belgium, more than 500,000 men were killed or maimed, gassed or drowned - and many of the bodies were never found. The Ypres offensive represents the modern impression of the First World War: splintered trees, water-filled craters, muddy shell-holes.

The climax was one of the worst battles of both world wars: Passchendaele. The village fell eventually, only for the whole offensive to be called off. But, as Nick Lloyd shows, notably through previously overlooked German archive material, it is striking how close the British came to forcing the German Army to make a major retreat in Belgium in October 1917.

Far from being a pointless and futile waste of men, the battle was a startling illustration of how effective British tactics and operations had become by 1917 and put the Allies nearer to a major turning point in the war than we have ever imagined. Published for the 100th anniversary of this major conflict, Passchendaele is the most compelling and comprehensive account ever written of the climax of trench warfare on the Western Front.

Описание: The third battle of Ypres, culminating in a desperate struggle for the ridge and little village of Passchendaele, was one of the most appalling campaigns in the First World War. A million Tommies, Canadians and Anzacs assembled at the Ypres Salient in the summer of 1917, mostly raw young troops keen to do their bit for King and Country.

Описание: Even after the passage of almost a century, the name Passchendaele has lost none of its power to shock and dismay. Reeling from the huge losses in earlier battles, the German army was in no shape to absorb the impact of the Battle of Messines and the subsequent bitter attritional struggle. Follow-up to the hugely successful `The German Army on the Somme` by the same author.

Описание: Epitaphs of the Great War: Passchendaele collects the headstone inscriptions from the graves of those killed during the Third Battle of Ypres--Passchendaele. Limited by the Imperial War Graves Commission to sixty-six characters, these inscriptions are masterpieces of compact emotion. But, as Sarah Wearne shows in this collection, their enforced brevity means that many inscriptions rely on the reader being able to pick up on references and allusions, many of which are unfamiliar to twenty-first-century readers. Consequently, alongside the inscriptions Wearne offers expanded religious, literary, or anecdotal context in order to give full voice to the bereaved.
Published in association with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, this collection gathers together epitaphs of the ordinary and the famous, the privileged and the poor, generals and privates alike to offer a full perspective on those who fought and died and those they left behind.
