I’m about halfway through Peter Harts’ “The Last Battle” that focuses on the last year of WW1, basically from when American troops arrived in numbers, to the end. It’s fascinating just how near the end of their rope all the major countries were. Not really surprising after the style of offensives, initially involving 500,000 plus men, bogging down and turning into a 6 month slugfest producing roughly a million casualties on both sides. Then doing it over and over again for years.
