Product Information

The definitive account of Passchendaele, the months-long battle that epitomizes the immense tragedy of the First World War Passchendaele. The name of a small, seemingly insignificant Flemish village echoes across the twentieth century as the ultimate expression of meaningless, industrialized slaughter. In the summer of 1917, upwards of 500,000 men were killed or wounded, maimed, gassed, drowned, or buried in this small corner of Belgium. On the centennial of the battle, military historian Nick Lloyd brings to vivid life this epic encounter along the Western Front. Drawing on both British and German sources, he is the first historian to reveal the astonishing fact that, for the British, Passchendaele was an eminently winnable battle. Yet the advance of British troops was undermined by their own high command, which, blinded by hubris, clung to failed tactics. The result was a familiar one: stalemate. Lloyd forces us to consider that trench warfare was not necessarily a futile endeavor, and that had the British won at Passchendaele, they might have ended the war early, saving hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives. A captivating narrative of heroism and folly, Passchendaele is an essential addition to the literature on the Great War.

Reviews
"An eloquent re-telling of one of the First World War's most mismanaged battles. Lloyd movingly recounts the ordeal of German and British infantry in the mud and blood of Passchendaele." -- Alexander Watson, author of Ring of Steel: Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I, "[Lloyd] retells the story of this infamous conflict with fresh knowledge and newly available materials, including letters, diaries, memoirs, and official reports from both British and German perspectives." -- Library Journal, "Extensively researched... demonstrate[s] the war's sheer and utter waste of life and resources even as the old mainland Europe monarchical order brought about its own demise." --New York Journal of Books, "[Lloyd] confirms his position among the best young scholars of WWI in this comprehensively researched, convincingly presented analysis of the still-controversial 1917 battle of Passchendaele. [His] thesis is controversial, but his scholarship makes it impossible to dismiss." --Publishers Weekly, "Lloyd's research is superb; the book is well-illustrated with photographs and maps; he brings the battle and its political context vividly to life... this is in almost every respect a model of what a work of military history should be, and is now perhaps the definitive account of this phase of the war on the Western Front."-- Daily Telegraph, ."[Lloyd's] narrative of the campaign is superb and written with clarity and dispassion... [he] has done his research thoroughly."-- The Times, "Detailed and compelling... There will be other books about Third Ypres this year, but it's unlikely that any of them will be better-researched, more intelligent or fairer than this one. Without in any way minimising the awfulness of the battle, Lloyd makes its inception and course comprehensible. Both as narrative and analysis, this book is masterly." --The Scotsman, "Red Cross files across western Europe. The German army's terrible suffering is duly explored, as well as that of Canadian and Anzac infantrymen. Published on the eve of Passchendaele's 100th anniversary, the book is harrowing but necessary."-- Observer, "An eloquent re-telling of one of the First World War's most mismanaged battles. Lloyd movingly recounts the ordeal of German and British infantry in the mud and blood of Passchendaele."-- Alexander Watson, author of Ring of Steel: Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I, "Red Cross files across western Europe.

[he] has done his research thoroughly." -- The Times, "Nick Lloyd's timely re-appraisal of Passchendaele--that awful battle of mud and muddle--is a masterpiece. On the ground the abiding image is of heroic soldiers battling the mud, but tragically there was muddle in the British Government as it failed to find a winning strategy while at the operational level the debate raged between Plumer's pragmatic 'bite and hold' operations and Haig's continuing desire for the great breakthrough. Yet despite the mud and muddle, the sacrifice at Passchendaele laid the foundation for the success of the 100 Days Campaign of 1918, and eventual victory, however short-lived." -- General The Lord Dannatt, Chief of the UK General Staff, "[Lloyd] retells the story of this infamous conflict with fresh knowledge and newly available materials, including letters, diaries, memoirs, and official reports from both British and German perspectives." --Library Journal "[Lloyd] confirms his position among the best young scholars of WWI in this comprehensively researched, convincingly presented analysis of the still-controversial 1917 battle of Passchendaele. [His] thesis is controversial, but his scholarship makes it impossible to dismiss." --Publishers Weekly, "Lloyd has retrieved an abundance of new material from archives, libraries and Red Cross files across western Europe. The German army's terrible suffering is duly explored, as well as that of Canadian and Anzac infantrymen. Published on the eve of Passchendaele's 100th anniversary, the book is harrowing but necessary." --Observer "[Lloyd's] narrative of the campaign is superb and written with clarity and dispassion...

Haig promised victory; Lloyd George predicted defeat. Nick Lloyd's account of the 'campaign of mud' is definitive, deftly analyzing the strategic debate, Haig's assumptions, the prime minister's equivocation, and the brutal combat for the heights above Ypres." --Geoffrey Wawro, author of A Mad Catastrophe: The Outbreak of World War I and the Collapse of the Habsburg Empire
