Synopsis
This detailed study reveals the history of the Meuse-Argonne campaign, the US Army's first full-scale offensive against German forces in France. When the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, the tiny US Army did not even have a standing division. A huge national army worthy of the Western Front was quickly enlisted, trained, and then transported to France to fight against the Germans. In September 1918, the American Expeditionary Force, under General John Pershing, began its first full-scale offensive against German forces in Lorraine, in which the US First Army and (eventually) the US Second Army would drive north between the Argonne Forest and the Meuse river towards Sedan. The Meuse-Argonne was excellent defensive terrain, being hilly, steep, heavily wooded, and fortified by the Germans over a three-year period. The offensive began on September 26, 1918. A largely inexperienced US First Army, with mid-level officers including Harry S. Truman, Douglas MacArthur, and George Patton, suffered setbacks and heavy casualties during its straight-ahead offensive against a still-potent but fading German Fifth Army. However, by early November, 1.2 million Americans and several hundred thousand French were engaged at the Meuse-Argonne and the Hindenburg Line had been decisively broken. The German withdrawal from Sedan approached a rout and the Americans finally had the Germans on the run until the Armistice ended the offensive on November 11, 1918. This engaging title tells the full story of this key offensive, illustrating and explaining the troops, weapons, and tactics of both the American Expeditionary Force and the German Fifth Army in stunning detail., When the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, the tiny US Army did not even have a standing division. A huge national army worthy of the Western Front was created from scratch, trained, and then transported to France to fight the Germans. This force first saw full-scale combat in September 1918. The main planned US offensive was in Lorraine, where the US First Army and (eventually) the US Second Army, would drive north between the Argonne Forest and the Meuse River toward Sedan. The Meuse-Argonne was excellent defensive terrain, hilly, steep, heavily wooded, and well fortified. In this superbly detailed volume, author Brian Lane Herder describes in detail the 47-day offensive, beginning September 26, 1918, and documents how a largely inexperienced US First Army suffered setbacks and heavy casualties inflicted by a still-potent but fading German Fifth Army. America's largest-ever battle is brought vividly to life with superb color battlescenes and period photographs, and through the words of those who fought in America's supreme engagement of World War I. Book jacket., This detailed study reveals the history of the Meuse-Argonne campaign, the US Army's first full-scale offensive against German forces in France.
