In the late Spring of 1917,the Allies were in crisis. Revolution had erupted in Russia and the French army was on the verge of mutiny.Meanwhile,Germany was winning the war in the air and her U- boats menaced the Channel.As the Battle of Arras was launched,taking pressure off the French,General 'Thruster' Gough swept up from the south to assault the Siegfried Line and the fortress village of Bullecourt. Despite using the the new wonder 'tank' and the fearless Anzacs, Gough's first attack in April ended in disaster and bitter recriminations. Swift retaliation by the Germans followed at Lagnicourt. But on 3 May, Gough launched a second,massive,British and Australian attack on Bulllecourt.For the next two weeks,the Battle of Bullecourt dominated British offensive action on the Western Front.Pitted against Stormtroopers and some of the best units in the German army,seven British and Australian divisions were sucked in before the battle reached its bloody climax.It was the excessive brutality and ferocity of the hand-to -hand fighting that earned Bullecourt the name 'Blood Tub'.The author re-examines the controversial role of General Gough together with a study of Anglo-Australian rivalry,shattering the myth of a united Anzac Command.Using unpublished documents and a wealth of eye-witness accounts,he confirms the terror rather than the thrill of a battle that must rank as one of the most savage contests of the Great War.
