1918 was the critical year of battle as the Great War reached its brutal climax. Warfare of an epic scale was fought on the Western Front, where ordinary British soldiers faced the final test of their training, tactics and determination. That they withstood the storm and began an astonishing counterattack, is proof that by 1918, the British army was the most effective fighting force in the world. But this ultimate victory came at devastating cost.

Using a wealth of previously unpublished material, historian Peter Hart gives a vivid account of this last year of conflict - what it was like to fight on the frontline, through the words of the men who were there. In a chronicle of unparalleled scope and depth, he brings to life the suspense, turmoil and tragedy of 1918's vast offensives.

I found some of the accents used by the narrator to be irritating, particularly the cartoonish German accent given to Ludendorff

Irritating narration

The worst piece of world one history I've read to date.
The author seems to be extremely blinded by the propaganda of the time, dismissing any counter argument. Painfully concentrated on the western front (the other fronts were meaningless sideshows according to the author) and British war effort (Americans didn't do a lot, French were merely following the British...)

On top of that, the narration - by the author - where he tried to emulate a German, or French accent in English are, plainly laughable and insulting.

If you want a good, interesting, and balanced account of the western front in ww1, listen to Dan Carlin's modcasts. They do the job way better.
