[edit] SOMME
An illustrated study of the Battle of the Somme in 1916 describing in detail everything from the grand strategy to the experience of the men on the ground.
On 1st July 1916, after a stupendous 7-day artillery preparation, the British Army finally launched its attack on the German line around the River Somme. Over the next 4= months they continued to attack, with little or no gain, and with horrendous losses to both sides. Over a million men were lost on the Somme, and this battle more than any other has since come to sum up the dreadful futility of the entire war. This book, written by the world's foremost expert in the subject, describes in chilling detail everything from the grand strategy to the experience of the men on the ground. Illustrated throughout in colour, it is a stunning and absorbing depiction of the horror that was the Somme in 1916.
