Description

The Third Battle of Ypres was a pivotal moment in World War I, marked by devastating losses for both sides. In October 1917, a small corner of Belgium saw over 500,000 men killed or maimed, with the battle's outcome hanging precariously in the balance. Nick Lloyd sheds new light on this often-overlooked chapter of history through previously overlooked German archive material. Contrary to popular perception, the British Army's tactics and operations were remarkably effective by 1917, bringing the Allies closer than ever before to a major turning point in the war. Published for the 100th anniversary of Passchendaele, this comprehensive account offers a fresh perspective on one of the most significant battles of both world wars.
