First published in 1998, this is the account of the battle, retreat and stand at Amiens, which saved the city, secured the line and caused Ludendorff to call off his offensive in the spring of 1918. But mostly it is the story of the men who took part, the commandos, the weary but resolute Tommies, the exultant Germans, the French and the Doughboys.
