Somme is still on record as the largest number of deaths in any one
day in any war. This book explores the myths of this infamous
battle and explains the underlying causes of the conflict, as well
as the use of mines, tunnels, gas and flame throwers by the British
in combination with innovative tactics such as smoke. Covering the
first day of the Somme, Andrew Robertshaw analyses the battle
through November, explaining how British battle tactics developed
as a result of the experience of the Somme. He provides an overview
of the events along the entire frontline, examining the actions of
two British Corps, VIII at Serre and XIII at Montauban, to
determine why the Somme epitomised the proverbial double-edged
sword.
