Ypres (eBook, ePUB)

The First Battle 1914

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First Ypres was a devastating battle for the British and a turning point for all four of the major armies involved.

Ypres: The First Battle draws on a wide range of British, French, German and Belgian sources in order to reconstruct the battle from all sides. Many of these personal papers and public accounts have never been published before.

Through a shrewd analysis of the most recent secondary works as well as archival materials, Ian F.W. Beckett appraises the significance of First Ypres as a key moment in the Great War marking the transition from war as it had been to war as it would become.

This book is suitable for undergraduate students studying World War One and is the perfect companion to Becketts The Great War.
