Villers-Cotterets and Rheims Salients.
The two flanks of the “pocket” which the German Offensive of May 27 had made, i.e. the Aisne salient around the Woods of Laigue, Compiègne, and Villers-Cotterets; and the Rheims salient backed by the Rheims Mountain, formed both an obstacle and a menace to the Germans, who accordingly decided to take them at all cost.
The Aisne salient was attacked first. From June 9 to 11, Von Hutier’s Army tried to break through from the north, but failed after endeavouring in vain to take Compiègne.
On June 12, an attack was made against the other side of the Aisne salient. After an exceedingly intense artillery preparation, which began at 2.30 a.m. and levelled the French lines, the enemy attacked in great force to the north and north-east of the Villers-Cotterets Wood along the Retz Stream.

The Great War American Front is a fascinating book that covers the beginning of an alternate version of World War 1 and its effects on the regular person and soldier. It’s the second book of the Southern Victory series from author Harry Turtledove which is a sort of thought exercise on how the world
This is another book I was hoping to like a lot more, especially after the opening of the series. But wheras that volume included ample interesting and easily identifiable chapters using historical figures, this one tries to cover a vast military front -- from western Canada to the east, from Oklaho
Harry Turtledove’s The Great War: The American Front, is a fast paced alternate history novel focusing on World War One after a confederate victory in the United States Civil War. After the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke, The US sides with The German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire,
I was hooked after reading the previous novel, "How Few Remain", and knew I had to continue with this series. It didn't serve as a prequel, but added some context and familiarity that I appreciated. This book had me flipping page after page, and I burned through it in just about a week or so. The th
I may include spoilers, so if you're planning to read the book (let's face it; you're not), consider yourself forewarned.
First recall that we're talking about an alternate history where the South won the Civil War with the help of England and France. This book takes us to 1914, where World War I is
