Description

The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has recently introduced substantial Changes to syllabi for CSS exam 2019, and onwards. Like that of all other subjects, the syllabus or Pakistan Affairs has also changed and now a major part of it has been dedicated to Current Affairs of Pakistan. This has put CSS aspirants in a quandary as to how and from where to Prepare for this crucial paper. So keeping in view the needs of the aspirants, Jahangir group of Publications has published this book entitled “To the Point Pakistan Affairs”.

The book has been designed and written to meet the expanding requirements of the aspirants. We have worked really hard to bring this volume as early as we could for the greater benefit of the aspirants. Actually, when such sudden, yet substantial, changes are introduced to the syllabus, generally such books are published hurriedly that sometimes miss many important topics or these ‘quick’ editions are replete with errors. Unlike most books in the market, ample time has been given to make this book highly informative and student-friendly and a special care has been given to make it simple, easy and error free. Moreover, a special effort has been made to make the contents of the book relevant, authentic, up-to-date and to-the-point.This book is also immensely useful for various other competitive examinations conducted by federal and provincial public service commissions. Although extreme care has been taken to make this book error-free, if you find any mistake, please let us know. All constructive comments, suggestions from the readers to improve the book will be highly welcomed.

victory at villers bretonneux book

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 to 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.

Across a 45-mile front, no fewer than two million German soldiers hurl themselves at the Allied lines, with the specific intention of splitting the British and French forces, and driving all the way through to the town of Villers-Bretonneux, at which point their artillery will be able to rain down shells on the key train-hub town of Amiens, thus throttling the Allied supply lines.

For nigh on two weeks, the plan works brilliantly, and the Germans are able to advance without check, as the exhausted British troops flee before them, together with tens of thousands of French refugees.

In desperation, the British commander, General Douglas Haig, calls upon the Australian soldiers to stop the German advance, and save Villers-Bretonneux. If the Australians can hold this, the very gate to Amiens, then the Germans will not win the war.

‘It’s up to us, then,’ one of the Diggers writes in his diary. Arriving at Villers-Bretonneux just in time, the Australians are indeed able to hold off the Germans, launching a vicious counterattack that hurls the Germans back the first time. And then, on Anzac Day 1918, when the town falls after all to the British defenders, it is again the Australians who are called on to save the day, the town, and the entire battle.

Not for nothing does the primary school at Villers-Bretonneux have above every blackboard, to this day, ‘N’oublions jamais, l’Australie.’ Never forget Australia.
