Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Retreat: A Story of 1918' is a powerful and evocative novel that captures the harrowing reality of the British Army's withdrawal during the final year of the Great War. Set against the backdrop of the massive German Spring Offensive, the narrative follows the psychological and physical trials of soldiers caught in the chaos of a retreating front. Charles R. Benstead provides a visceral account of life in the trenches and the exhausting uncertainty of movement under fire.The work delves deep into the minds of its characters, exploring the breakdown of morale and the sheer endurance required to survive one of the most desperate periods in military history. Unlike many heroic accounts of the era, 'Retreat: A Story of 1918' emphasizes the confusion, fatigue, and stark tragedy of the 1918 campaign. It stands as a significant piece of Great War literature, offering a gritty, realistic portrayal of the Western Front that challenges the romanticized notions of battle.
