THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER 'The best new narrative of the
battle thus far, reflecting his gifts for fluent prose and moving
quotations.' Max Hastings, Sunday Times No conflict better
encapsulates all that went wrong on the Western Front during World
War I 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 - but this critically-acclaimed bestseller, on the
four months of battle, shows the extent to which the Allied armies
were in fact able to break through the German front lines again and
again. In eight years of research, Hugh Sebag-Montefiore -- the
author of Dunkirk -- has found extraordinary new material from
Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, and the British - from
heartbreaking diaries and letters to hitherto unseen Red Cross
files - recounting their experiences amid the horror of war. It has
been hailed as the best book about the battle, which, though not an
Allied victory, was the beginning of the slide towards German
defeat.
