This is the story of the day on which World War I, the war to end all wars, ended. Using military archives and public records, along with journals and diaries, the book will weave together the eleventh hour experiences of the famous, such as Lloyd George, President Woodrow Wilson, Field Marshall Haig and General Pershing. But more dominantly, it will deal with the ordinary men in the trenches, unsung and unremembered, the British Tommies, French Poilus, American Doughboys and German Feldgrau. Where, for example, was the Austrian corporal, Adolf Hitler, on that day? Four days before the War's end, with peace talks already underway, the beaten Germans propose an interim ceasefire to spare lives. However, the French Allied Commander, General Ferdinand Foch, refuses. Hostilities will not cease, Foch insists, before the appointed hour of the Armistice. Thus, even on the last day, the Allies are still launching full scale offenses and both sides bombard each other until the final minute of the agreed ceasefire, 11am, November 11, 1918. The last hours pulsate with tension as men in the trenches, airmen in the sky and sailors at sea hope to escape the melancholy distinction of being the last to die in the War.

Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback.Price clipped First Edition. Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour. This is the story of the day on which World War I, the war to end all wars, ended. Although general knew that fighting would end precisely at 11:00 a.m., many officers saw a last opportunity for glory and advancement, while others merely wanted to kill as many Germans as possible. So superiors ordered their men to engage an already beaten enemy, resul;ting in eleven thousand casualties - more than during the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Using military archives and public records, along with journals and diaries, the author weaves together the eleventh hour experiences of the famous, such as Lloyd George, President Woodrow Wilson, Field Marshall Haig and General Pershing. But more dominately, he reveals the lives of the ordinary men in the trenches, unsung and unremembered, the British Tommies, French Poilus, American Doughboys and German Feldgrau. Where, for example, the Austrian corporal, Adolf Hitler, on that day? The author's study is as broad in scope as the twentieth century itself and as intimate as a man confronting his death on the very eve of peace. The pointless fighting on the last day of war is the perfect metaphor for the four years of senseless slaughter that preceded it. This book is sure to become the definitive history of the end of a conflict Winston Churchill called 'the hardest, cruellest, and least-reward of all the wars that have been fought'. Illustrated. 456 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
