On Anzac Day 1918, when the town of Villers-Bretonneux falls to the British defenders, it is the Australians who are called on to save the day, the town and the entire battle.

It's early 1918, and after four brutal years the fate of the Great War hangs in the balance. On the one hand, the fact that Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks have seized power in Russia - immediately suing for peace with Germany - means that no fewer than one million of the Kaiser's soldiers can now be transferred from there to the Western Front. On the other, now that America has entered the war, it means that two million American soldiers are also on their way, to tip the scales of war in favor of the Allies.

The Germans, realising that their only hope is striking at the Allied lines first, do exactly that, and on the morning of 21 March 1918, the Kaiserschlacht, the Kaiser's battle, is launched - the biggest set-piece battle the world has ever seen.

Excellent book for WWI history buffs and especially those interested in Australian battles.
Written in the present tense and using the words commonly found in the author's research. The narrator brings the book to life with an exceptional zest! If you aren't familiar with this beautiful French town and the devastation of war just enter the name in 'search.' Considering the many Audible books I have about WWI and specific battles, this is by far one of the best . . . definitely recommr!

A must for WWI!

The third in a series about the Anzacs in World War I, the author brings those men and the war they fought to life and fully relevant to today. it was so good, detailed, and sourced that I couldn't help reading it again. It is history as history should be- a story that inspires and informs.

outstanding book, outstanding listen.

Peter FitzSimons has an amazing talent writing nonfiction like a fictional thriller. And of all the World War I accounts, "Victory At Villers-Bretonneux" is one of the very best narratives. It reads like an epic novel. An incredible story of grit and victory thanks to the amazing Aussies, it is a whip lash tale of back and forth fighting between the Aussies and the German. The Australian divisions moved in to reinforce the exhausted and diminished British forces. The goal for the Germans was capturing Amiens, a major supply line. But as the title indicates, the Allies prevailed in spite of the most incredible odds. And this was due to the Australians charge. What the men went through, the injuries and deaths that occurred, defies the imagination.

Robert Meldrum's narration is thrilling. He's absolutely spellbinding. Cannot recommend this book more highly for all military history buffs. It's the best of the best. And that's saying something.
