No conflict better encapsulates all that went
wrong on the Western Front than the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The
tragic loss of life and stoic endurance by troops who walked towards
their death is an iconic image which will be hard to ignore during the
centennial year.
Despite this, this book shows the extent to
which the Allied armies were in fact able repeatedly to break through
the German front lines. By focusing on the first-hand experiences of
both Allied and enemy soldiers, the author weaves a remarkable portrait
of life at the Front.
