Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book revives the lesser-known events of the Great War by detailing two significant battles of the American Expeditionary Force (A.E.F.). One of the fiercest conflicts of the war, the Battle of Cantigny, recounts the story of the first American attack, which overcame the German army and reversed the tide of the war for the Allies. The account details how, on June 6, 1918, some 250 pieces of artillery and a dozen tanks supported an infantry charge at Cantigny, France, by the 28th Infantry regiment, backed by the 26th Infantry. The second battle, the Battle of Belleau Wood, sheds light on the brutal forest warfare that characterized trench combat during the conflict. The text delves into how the 2nd Division of the A.E.F. played a pivotal role in stopping the German advance toward Paris and illustrates the resilience of the American soldiers, who, despite facing an overwhelming enemy force, held their ground and emerged victorious.
