Más información sobre el libro
The remarkable new book presents a detailed chronicle of the battle, day by day, unit by unit. This fascinating book is a significant new approach to the conflict of 1916 and a practical guide for anyone wishing to see and understand how the battle evolved. The day-by-day layout is illustrated by a fine section of photographs, many previously unpublished and all carefully linked to show specific details of each month's fighting. Equally important are the 50 maps illustrating trench names, fortresses and strong-points, jumping-off points, objectives and gains made. For the first time it is possible to read about the progress of a specific British brigade through reserve trenches, front-lines, no-man's-land and captured enemy positions and to trace that unit on comprehensive maps.
