The First World War was a human catastrophe but it also saw a
dynamic development of new weapons and a new kind of war; between
the lions and the donkeys came the managers - and the workers - who
transformed a nation into a war machine in forty-eight months. Our
Land at War takes you on a journey to the key places that witnessed
this war effort and those at all levels of society who brought
about the change. The war created a new world of vast hutted camps
and a new kind of transport system that even involved a lighted
barrage across the Channel. From Aldershot - the home of the
British Army - to the War Office in Whitehall, from Scapa Flow to
Yarmouth, this is Britain's war mapped for the first time. Nick
Bosanquet uncovers where this national revolution took place,
exploring Britain's Great War heritage and helping you to locate
the hidden history of war at the end of your street.
