There was also social and political upheaval on the home front, including labour unrest and opposition to conscription in the dominions. But here and there glimmers of light pierced the gloom. The armies of the empire began to solve the puzzle of trench warfare. The dominions asserted themselves more in the councils of imperial power. And the United States finally entered the war. Turning Point 1917 examines the British imperial war effort during the most pivotal and dynamic twelve months of the Great War. Written by internationally recognized historians, its chapters explore military, diplomatic, and domestic aspects of how the empire prosecuted the war. Their rich, nuanced analysis transcends narrow, national viewpoints of the conflict to view the British Empire as a coalition rather than individual states engaged in their own distinctive struggles. In drawing attention to the developments that made 1917 a turning point, this book provides a unique perspective of the war. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGreat Britain 606 $aErster Weltkrieg$3(DE-601)106075438$3(DE-588)4079163-4$2gnd 606 $aHISTORY / Military / World War I$2bisacsh 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 7$aErster Weltkrieg. 615 7$aHISTORY / Military / World War I. 676 $a940.3/41 702 $aBeckett$b Ian F.W.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aConnelly$b Mark$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCrawford$b John$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDelaney$b Douglas E.$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDelaney$b Douglas E.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDurflinger$b Serge Marc$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGardner$b Nikolas$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163924203321 996 $aTurning Point 1917$93485918 997 $aUNINA
