520 _a"Our Greatest Battle (The Meuse-Argonne)" by Frederick Palmer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the Meuse-Argonne offensive, which was the largest battle fought by American forces during World War I, providing a comprehensive analysis of the battle's strategies, troop movements, and the challenges faced by the American divisions involved. Through detailed descriptions, Palmer encapsulates the spirit and tenacity of the soldiers engaged in this monumental conflict. The opening of the account establishes Palmer's credentials as an observer and participant in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, detailing his unique perspective as someone who had a key role in press relations and was privy to the actions of various divisions. He discusses the changing strategies leading up to the battle, emphasizing the importance of readiness and the element of surprise against a beleaguered German army. Palmer sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the American military efforts, the diverse backgrounds and states of readiness of the divisions involved, and the difficulties in executing a well-coordinated assault against formidable defenses.
