Recenzii

'Even the well-informed reader will learn much about how the German army functioned from Holding Out. The book's conclusions go far beyond 1917 and are important to sharpen our understanding of the German army during the entire war. Cowan fights against the idea of the German army being the 'benchmark' of military quality and offers a much more nuanced picture of a military organism with great strengths and great weaknesses.' Holger Afflerbach, author of On a Knife Edge
'Tony Cowan's fascinating case study of the battles of early 1917 is a work of meticulous scholarship and deep insight which sets a new standard for our understanding of war on the Western Front, and of the strengths and weaknesses of the German army in the first half of the twentieth century.' Jonathan Boff, author of Haig's Enemy
