The Second Battle of the Marne (July 15 to August 9, 1918) marks the point at which the Allied armies stopped the massive German Ludendorff Offensive and turned to offensive operations themselves. The Germans never again came as close to Paris nor resumed the offensive. A superb account of the bloody events of those fateful days, this book sheds new light on a critically important 20th-century battle.
