"This book makes you want to learn more about the initial American offensives of WWI... [it] is highly recommended for anyone interested in American's combat efforts in the First World War." -- Indy Squadron Dispatch "Included in the recount are first-hand accounts, photos and maps -- in both black and white and full color -- lending to an outstanding survey for specialized, in-depth collections where World War I history is a focus." -- Midwest Book Review "...is an excellent addition to the Osprey campaign series. It is recommended for readers who have interest in World War I as it covers the battles in question with superb descriptions and informative maps, pictures and color plates. Beyond the specific battles, the book covers the build up to the battles with pertinent insights into the makeup and goals of both sides as they approached the battle." -- The Wargamer, "Included in the recount are first-hand accounts, photos and maps - in both black and white and full color - lending to an outstanding survey for specialized, in-depth collections where World War I history is a focus." - Midwest Book Review "This book makes you want to learn more about the initial American offensives of WWI...

Synopsis
In March 1918 of World War I (1914-1918), the Germans had successfully pushed the frontline to within 120km of Paris; the town of Chateau Thierry marking the tip of German advance. Nevertheless, in a daring counter-offensive on June 3, the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) reinforced the French and threw the Germans back across the Marne River. Exhilarated by this success, the 2d Marine Division was tasked with taking the strategically significant Belleau Wood. On the Marines arrival the French were retreating in the face of the German onslaught, but the Marines defiantly declared "Retreat, hell! We just got here!" To take the wood the Marines marched through an exposed wheat field under fierce German fire, and suffered a staggering casualty rate. The Marines, undaunted, reached the wood and bitterly struggled for 20 days, capturing and re-capturing it six times over, and finally securing the position against all odds, ending the last German offensive on the Western Front. The US forces suffered 9,777 casualties, took 1,800 German prisoners, and the wood was officially renamed Bois de la Brigade de Marine in honor of their courage and victory. Discussing the strategy employed by the Allies and accompanied by original photographs and detailed maps, this book examines the two key battles that saw America's baptism of fire in World War I: Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood., In March 1918 the Germans had successfully pushed the frontline to within 120km of Paris; the town of Chateau Thierry marking the tip of German advance.
