Somme Offensive March 1918

The 1916 Battle of the Somme is a well-known chapter of the First World War, but less well known is the offensive of the same name from 1918. This work sets out to correct that imbalance and present the reader with an inciteful work covering the German spring offensives, including Operation Michael and the others including Georgette and Mars. These attacks took the Allies by surprise and caused reverses along the front in the last year of the war. Supported throughout with maps, this work explains what happened and the outcome, which set the Allies reeling and having to re-think their own operations in 1918.
