"Weaving together letters, diaries, and other first-person accounts, Peter Hart gives us a fresh approach to The Battle of the Somme. A compelling narrative tribute to this infamous tragedy that epitomized the futility of "the war to end all wars," this dramatic retelling explores true nature of the conflict as experienced by those on the ground; neither a chess match of clinical strategy nor a charnel house for the helpless, but as a contest fought by brave and often ruthless men in an attempt to create order out of the bloody chaos of war." Peter Hart uses this vast wealth of original research to describe the entire course of the battle, from the terrifying and momentous first day to the muddy, putrid wasteland of November 1916. The result is an unparalleled evocation of World War I's iconic contest - one of the true horrors of the twentieth century.
