What is The Day We Won the War: Turning Point at Amiens 8th August 1918 about?

<p>History credits Germany with inventing the Blitzkrieg in the early days of World War II. But it was not they, but the British, who had pioneered the techniques of mobile mechanized warfare two decades earlier at Amiens, the battle that turned the tide of the First World War. Charles Messenger, a noted author on military subjects and a former officer in the Royal Tank Regiment, vividly re-creates this decisive battle and explores its historic lessons. His dramatic account shows how the British attack, spearheaded by tanks and supported by planes, was the first totally convincing demonstration of the power of modern technology to win wars. <p><p></p>
