DEfining 1918 Victory

Chief of Army history conference 1998

Peter Dennis & Jeffery Grey (Eds)

The allied victory in 1918 represents a fascinating example of the ways in which military organisations are capable of learning and adapting, while in this case simultaneously facing the twin stresses of fighting a major war on a number of fronts and of undergoing an enormous expansion in numbers.

This volume of essays, drawn from the Chief of Army's History Conference in September 1998, brings together the work of a number of leading historians of the First World War-from Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States-and provides a range of perspectives on the final victory of 1918.
