They had been expecting, and planning for, the war to continue into 1919, the year they hoped to achieve a complete military victory over the Central Powers. Meighen McCrae illuminates how, throughout this planning process, the Supreme War Council evolved to become the predominant mechanism for coalition war-making. She analyses the Council's role in the formulation of an Allied strategy for 1918-1919 across the various theatres of war and compares the perspectives of the British, French, Americans and Italians. In doing so we learn how, in an early example of modern alliance warfare, the Supreme War Council had to coordinate national needs with coalition ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meighen McCrae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108475303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcCrae, Meighen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Meighen McCrae is Lecturer in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at Australian National University, Canberra.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40961385988211,"sku":"9.78111E+12","price":67.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a79fb955-fbf2-49c3-a517-bed7d6111d32.jpg?v=1695128780","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/coalition-strategy-and-the-end-of-the-first-world-war-the-supreme-war-council-and-war-planning-1917-1918-9781108475303","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
