Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Arthur Behrend survived the Great War, and later recorded his experiences in various spheres of the conflict in several successful books - including a harrowing account of the Gallipoli campaign. This book, by contrast, is a compressed story of just nine days - but what days they were - in the chaotic aftermath of the launch of the first - and most crushing - of Ludendorff's five Spring offensives in 1918. AS adjutant of the 9oth Brigade of the Royal Garrison Artillery, Behrend was in the eye of the storm and records his experiences - and that of his gunner comrades who helped him compile the book with the aid of their own reminiscences. Illustrated with photos an maps, this book gives a very clear idea of the impact of the German attack, and the orderly way in which the artillery reacted to it.
