| YPRES: THE FIRST BATTLE 1914 by Ian F W Beckett The battle for Ypres in October and November 1914 represented the last opportunity for open, mobile warfare on the Western Front for the next four years. The first battle to associate the British army with the ‘immortal salient’, and the mythologizing of the British struggle has obscured the major role of the French and Belgians in defending Flanders. But it has also been mythologised from the German perspective, the so-called kindermord (slaughter of the innocents) proving a useable myth for the Nazis through the participation of the young Adolf Hitler.2004, Pearson Education, , 0582506123,< D-02>,221pp, 15 b/w photos, 6 maps, biblio, index, New in d/w, , Subject...World War I - Western FrontWeb No. 32575-01..............................£19.99 |
