It was said that you could smell the battlefield miles before you reached it~a fetid odor of death. It was where the poppies grew in Flanders Fields while a million men lived like animals in slimy underground trenches and from 1914 to 1918 slaughtered one another with such consistency that even on "quiet days" casualties ran into the thousands. In August 1914, Germany had marched the largest mobilized army in the world through neutral Belgium, planning to take Paris in a matter of weeks. When Britain's standing army of 250,000 rushed to defend Belgium and France, Germany initiated a dramatic "race to the sea" to capture the critical ports along the English Channel. The Belgian king flooded his own land to hold back the invaders and a bloody stalemate ensued. The front ran nearly five hundred miles from Belgium across France all the way to the Swiss border. The bitterest fighting would occur along the salient facing the quaint medieval town of Ypres where, for four years, the Allies fought tooth and nail to defend the deadly bulge in their battle line. Although the First World War would spread from the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey to the mountains of Italy, no single area would prove more critical~or suffer more devastation~than this pastoral area in Belgium not much larger in size than the island of Manhattan. A Storm in Flanders is prize~winning historian Winston Groom's compelling history of the four~year battle for Ypres. As the engagement degenerated into relentless attrition, the salient became a gigantic corpse factory where hundreds of thousands of men~including Americans~died for gains that were measured in mere yards. To break the stalemate, the high commands on both sides over the years debuted and refined some of history's most terrifying weapons and tactics: poison gas, flamethrowers, tanks, stupendous underground mines, air strikes, and the unspeakable misery of trench warfare. The Third Battle of Ypres, also known as Passchendaele, ranks among the most infamous in the history of warfare, where the horror of fighting in mud sometimes waist~deep reduced even the high command to tears. The stalemate lasted until the fourth battle, when the Germans finally came within sight of the Eiffel Tower in an all~or~nothing attack and were miraculously beaten back by an Allied army on its very last legs. Illustrated with breathtaking photographs and drawing from the private journals of the men who fought on the harrowing front lines (including those of young soldier Adolf Hitler, whose experience at Ypres set him on his fateful path), A Storm in Flanders is a powerful work of military history: a gripping drama of politics, strategy, and the human heart, and the struggle for survival and victory against all odds.
