Hugh Sebag-Montefiore

Opis

The Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller on the greatest battle of WWI. Sebag-Montefiore has found extraordinary new material from Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and British - from diaries and letters to hitherto unseen Red Cross files - recounting their experiences amid the horror of war. The battle of Somme, though not an Allied victory, was the beginning of the slide towards German defeat.

Recenzje

Magisterial, exemplary, heartbreaking. So original is the material, and so inventive is Sebag-Montefiore's approach . . . that this well-known tale is rendered strange again. Written with great style and sensitivity, superbly illustrated with many original plates and beautifully drawn maps, Sebag-Montefiore's brilliant new study will set the benchmark for a generation Saul David David Telegraph
