    Description: Eleven o'clock on the morning of 11 November 1918 was the end of an era. It marked the end of the bloody fighting and worldwide loss that characterised the First World War. It was finally time to set aside sadness and mourning as best the world could, and begin to celebrate and commemorate. In 120 black and white images from Mirrorpix's formidable photograph archive, Victory 1918 provides a vivid look at the 1918 Armistice, from exhausted relief and vindication on the front line to jubilation on the streets of London and France. Fully up to date with remembrance ceremonies over the past 100 years, it is a book that celebrates the close of one of the world's most catastrophic wars.

    Price: £12.99

    Description: The story of the huge mobile battles of 1918, which finally ended the Great War. 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 Using a wealth of previously unpublished material, historian Peter Hart gives a vivid account of this last year of conflict - what it was like to fight on the frontline, through the words of the men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.

  • Waterstones November 1918

    Price: £25.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: The German Revolution of November 1918 is nowadays largely forgotten outside Germany. It is generally regarded as a failure even by those who have heard of it, a missed opportunity which paved the way for the rise of the Nazis and the catastrophe to come. Robert Gerwarth argues here that to view the German Revolution in this way is a serious misjudgement. Not only did it bring down the authoritarian monarchy of the Hohenzollern, it also brought into being the first ever German democracy in an amazingly bloodless way. Focusing on the dramatic events between the last months of the First World War in 1918 and Hitler's Munich Putsch of 1923, Robert Gerwarth illuminates the fundamental and deep-seated ways in which the November Revolution changed Germany. In doing so, he reminds us that, while it is easy with the benefit of hindsight to write off the 1918 Revolution as a 'failure', this failure was not somehow pre-ordained. In 1918, the fate of the German Revolution remained very much an open book.
