Last Battle (eBook)

At last we have a book that really does these events justice...Hart skilfully navigates the reader through the rival national narratives that each claim credit as architects of the final victory...Hart has delivered a well balanced, enlightening history that enables the reader to make sense of an exciting but potentially confusing chapter of the war.

Peter Hart, in his commendable book...offers us a first-class analysis as to why the British Army succeeded operationally...One of the best books, among the very large number that the First World War centenary has produced, at describing how soldiers actually think and feel, written by a historian who has a rare intuition for his subject.

Thought provoking, erudite, yet eminently readable and entertaining: Peter Hart is a historian and author at the peak of his powers

Well written, with an exceptional collection of personal narratives, this book provides a fascinating look at the last four months of World War I.

This superbly written history demonstrates conclusively the skill and professionalism of the British Army in 1918.

A superb account of the tactics that won the First World War on the Western Front.

A fantastic book...If you're going to read one book on 1918 for this centenary, there's no doubt that Peter's book is it.

This is an excellent highly readable book that should appeal to all students of military history and a worthy addition to the author's previous titles.

A thoroughly readable, yet authoritative, account of one of the most dramatic periods of 20th Century history, one which deserves to be far better known. It deserves a place on the bookshelf of every serious student of the Great War and I cannot recommend it too strongly.

Arguably the most significant book produced in the centenary year of the Armistice and is a masterfully written and constructed work...a book which is not only more than praiseworthy but is one which will stand as the definitive work on perhaps the most important period of the entire war.
