Description: London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1919. 1st edition. Fifth volume in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's History of the War. "A million men released from the Russian front, rolled across Europe and, swelling that great tide which was already banked up before the British breakwater, it washed over all the front line barriers and threatened at one time to sweep down to the sea. The account of how the British Army, upon which incomparably the greater pressure fell, rose to the occasion and first slowed and then held the terrific flood is one of the most wonderful of military epics."
