Story
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.

A gentle look at a horrific subject

This is by far one of my favorite books on the Somme and the audio version of it brings a more gentle delivery to the horrors faced on the battle field. All around a fantastic listen.
