"...recommended for those interested in the history of ground engagements of World War I, and in particular, those interested in the history of American troops. It is a treasure trove of information and artwork featuring the uniforms and weapons that were used during this conflict. The book is very well written and informative. The illustrations are excellent in and of themselves and add enormously to the overall high quality and value of the publication." -- IPMS, "...recommended for those interested in the history of ground engagements of World War I, and in particular, those interested in the history of American troops.

Synopsis
The dominating Blanc Mont Ridge complex in the Champagne region of France was home to some of the most complex German defenses on the Western Front. Its heights offered artillery observation that made even approaching the ridge virtually suicidal. Pessimistic about the ability of depleted and demoralized French units to capture the position, G n ral Henri Gouraud was granted the use of two American divisions: the veteran 2nd "Indianhead" Division, including the 4th (Marine) Brigade, and the untested 36th "Arrowhead" Division of the Texas and Oklahoma National Guard. This fully illustrated book describes this Allied offensive with American troops in the vanguard, and shows how despite the heavy losses it sustained to both manpower and supporting armor, they eventually forced the Germans to abandon most of the region in one of the largest withdrawals of the war., A highly illustrated account of the battle for Blanc Mont Ridge in 1918, where the US attackers broke the German line and sent them into headlong retreat in one of the major US victories of World War I., The dominating Blanc Mont Ridge complex in the Champagne region of France was home to some of the most complex German defenses on the Western Front.
