Description
Unlike 1945, the First World War did not end neatly with the unconditional surrender of the Germans. After a dramatic week of negotiations, military offensives and the beginning of a Communist revolution, the German Imperial regime collapsed. The Allies eventually granted an armistice to a new German government, and at eleventh hour on the 11th of November, the guns officially ceased fire, but only after 11,000 casualties had been sustainedalmost as many as on D-Day.
Nicholas Best tells the story in sweeping, cinematic style, revealing that events were far from pre-ordained. From the generals headquarters to the frontline trenches, from the factories to the farms, he reveals the twists and turns that led to the end of the Great War.
