Armistice: The Endgame of World War One

Synopsis: Professor David Reynolds takes a fresh look at the events and personalities involved in the Armistice which brought the First World war to an end in 1918. In a journey that takes him through command centres and battlefields, he explores why half a million men were killed or wounded in the bitter endgame of the Great War and he unravels how Germany ultimately plunged to total defeat. In March 1918 the Germans nearly won the war; in November they not only lost it, their country also fell apart in revolution, leaving them unable to resist the Allies’ harsh terms. David Reynolds argues that it was the frenetic politicking and brutality of the fighting in 1918 that sowed the seeds of the Second World War.
