Title: Not a very good book
Product review: I felt this book was thrown together from secondary sources, and not well-written. Rather than read this book, I suggest you read The Defeat of Imperial Germany 1917-1918, by Rod Paschall. I found it a much better book, still resonating in my memory over ten years after I finished reading it on 6 April 1991. Unless you are really interested in the various units fighting, the account of those units' various actions and inactions is a drag for one who had no relative in the AEF or is not a wargamer. Incidentally, on page 10 Eisenhower says that on April 6, 1917 the USA was at war with Imperial Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But I find that the USA did not declare war on Austia-Hungary until Dec 7, 1917. I am curious as to why war was declared on that country at that particular time, and would like to know more about the reason for that particular timing. Since Eisenhower thinks we declared war on Austria-Hungary on Apr 6, you won't find anything about it in this book
