About This Item
(Subject: World War I - General) The author uses cabinet papers, memoirs, official histories and diaries to examine the background to the Allied triumph. He also uses letters and reminiscences from officers and men to heighten the drama of neglected campaigns with almost forgotten incidents. These include: weary troops marching towards Baghdad to sleep where they halted, the cooks who declined the surrender of Jerusalem, and sandbags stuffed with seaweed in order to protect the treasures of Venice. There were four armistices that autumn, as there had been battlefronts on three continents. (Published: 1998) (Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson) (ISBN: 0297841246) (Pagination: 368pp 23 illustrations. 6 maps) (Condition: Slight creasing to d/w at bottom of spine otherwise very good) UL-XXXXXX
