But here and there glimmers of light pierced the gloom. Soldiers began solving the problems posed by trench warfare. The dominions asserted themselves in the councils of imperial power. And the US finally entered the war. This book examines the British imperial war effort during the most pivotal and dynamic twelve months of the war. Written by internationally recognized historians, its chapters explore military, diplomatic, and domestic aspects of how the empire prosecuted the war. Their rich, nuanced analysis transcends narrow, national viewpoints to provide a multi-faceted perspective of events that laid the groundwork for victory."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Great Britain. 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1914-1918 $2 fast 700 1 $a Gardner, Nikolas, $d 1970- $e editor. 700 1 $a Delaney, Douglas E. $q (Douglas Edward), $d 1964- $e editor. 776 1 $t Turning point 1917 $w (CaOONL)20169069842 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706034803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0EB6F1602FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
