Ashley Ekins, ed. 1918 Year of Victory: The End of the Great War and the Shaping of History. Titirangi and Wollombi: Exisle Publishing, 2010. This is the product of a conference held at the Australian War Memorial in 2008, and features contributions from people like Jay Winter, Robin Prior, Gary Sheffield, Trevor Wilson and Stephen Badsey, among others, with chapters on 1918 from the perspective from various armies and arms (Peter Hart has a chapter on the air war, for example). It's encouraging to see a non-specialist Australian/New Zealand publisher putting out a serious work of military history which takes an international view (even if Australia does get as many chapters as Germany).
