Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

  1. Nothing about France? May I suggest Robert A. Doughty's "Pyrrhic Victory: French Strategy and Operations in The Great War.

  2. I think that the American Armies & Battlefields in Europe (aka "The Blue Book") is an essential piece of kit for looking at the AEF. You can also download a PDF version for free from the ABMC website
