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. The author has
uncovered some remarkable stories, as yet unknown, of action and heroism in the
face of battle. He weaves in these first-hand experiences, creating a remarkable
portrait of life at the Front.
