Mark E. Grotelueschen examines the American Expeditionary Forces’ growing involvement in combat during the German offensives of spring 1918. The narrative follows an army still preparing for a larger independent role as its units were drawn into urgent fighting alongside the Allies.
The study places training, command decisions and battlefield experience within the changing strategic situation from April through June. Accounts of American operations show how soldiers and commanders adapted to the demands of modern warfare and how those experiences affected the army’s development. This complete 2018 campaign history retains its original maps, photographs and further reading. Its cover photograph of the 7th Machine Gun Battalion guarding the Marne at Château-Thierry is credited to the National Archives.
