1918: The end of the war to end all wars. The end of an era for victors and vanquished alike. When Germany launched the Ludendorf Offensives-the most massive military bombardment of World War I-they seemed certain to win. But when American troops began arriving in droves, the Allies certain defeat became a decisive victory. No Mans Land takes us into the trenches, behind enemy lines, into military strategy sessions and through the corridors of power in London, Paris, Berlin, and Washington in a brilliant account of one of the most fateful years in Western history. Drawing on new sources-diaries, memoirs, vivid personal experiences-here is a book that for sheer excitement, drama, vigor, and emotional impact rivals the greatest novels, history marvelously told by the incomparable John Toland. A compelling human picture ... a marvelous job by a master of the big-canvas history. Business Week.
