Synopsis Our Greatest Battle by : Frederick Palmer
Excerpt from Our Greatest Battle: The Meuse-Argonne During the war we had books which were the product of the spirit of the hour and its limitations. Among these was my "America in France," which was written, while we were still expecting the war to last through the summer of 1919, to describe the gathering and training of the American Expeditionary Forces, and their actions through the Chateau-Thierry and Saint-Mihiel operations. Since the war and the passing of the military censorship, we have had many hastily compiled histories, and many "inside" accounts from participants, including commanders, both Allied and enemy, whose special pleading is, to one familiar with events, no less evident in their lapses than in their tone. This book, which continues and supplements "America in France," is not in the class of the jerrybuilt histories or the personal narratives. It aims, as the result of special facilities for information and observation, to give a comprehensive and intelligent account of the greatest battle in which Americans ever fought, the Meuse-Argonne.

Synopsis Thunder in the Argonne by : Douglas V. Mastriano
In July 1918, sensing that the German Army had lost crucial momentum, Supreme Allied Commander Ferdinand Foch saw an opportunity to end the First World War. In drafting his plans for a final grand offensive, he assigned the most difficult sector -- the dense Argonne forest and the vast Meuse River valley -- to the American Expeditionary Forces under General John J. Pershing. There, the Doughboys faced thickly defended German lines with terrain deemed impossible to fight through. From September 26 through the November 11 armistice, US forces suffered more than 20,000 casualties a week, but the Allies ultimately prevailed in a decisive victory that helped to end the Great War. In Thunder in the Argonne, Douglas V. Mastriano offers the most comprehensive account of this legendary campaign to date. Not only does he provide American, French, and British perspectives on the offensive, but he also offers -- for the first time in English -- the German view. Mastriano presents a balanced analysis of successes and failures at all levels of command, examining the leadership of the principals while also illuminating acts of heroism by individual soldiers. The Meuse-Argonne Offensive is widely regarded as one of America's finest hours, and the amazing feats of Sergeant Alvin York, Major Charles Whittlesey of the Lost Battalion, and Lieutenant Sam Woodfill -- all accomplished in the midst of this maelstrom -- echo across the ages. Published to coincide with the centennial of the campaign, this engaging book offers a fresh look at the battle that forged the modern US Army

Synopsis The Test of Battle by : Paul F. Braim
In this revised edition, Dr. Paul Braim analyzes the history of the Meuse-Argonne Campaign, the most significant challenge to the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in World War I. Delving into newly acquired sources, he details the great difficulties encountered by the fledgling AEF, sent to fight in cooperation with Allies in France. Deployed to France from an army hastily expanded twenty times over its peacetime strength, the AEF was forced to organize a theater of operations, train the hundreds of thousands of arriving U.S. troops, and commit its partially trained forces into battle prematurely. Braim recounts the commitment of the lesser trained soldiers of the AEF into positions for a major offensive into the Meuse-Argonne, the "test of battle" for the Americans in France. His description of the grim fighting evokes the sounds and smells of front-line battle, as the army drove north through the strong defenses in the Meuse-Argonne sector, and gained a bloody victory on the heights overlooking Sedan. Braim analyzes this costly victory by inadequately trained and inexpertly led forces as "learning to fight by fighting!"
