Jonathan F.W. Vance, Distinguished University Professor and J.B. Smallman Chair, Department of History, Western University:
Turning Point 1917 combines classic military history with studies of social factors and cultural dimensions to look at how events in 1917 marked not only a turning point in the Great War but also in the relationships between Britain and the dominions. This is a very important volume.

Kent Fedorowich, Reader in British Imperial History, University of the West of England, Bristol:
Looking at a disparate variety of regions, crises, and themes in 1917, this fascinating volume examines how seemingly disconnected events overlapped to change the course of the war for Britain and its allies. Written by leading international experts of diplomatic, military, and naval history, Turning Point 1917 sets the benchmark for future comparative analyses.
