On 1 July 1916, Douglas Haig's army launched the 'Big Push' that
was supposed finally to bring an end to the stalemate on the
Western Front. What happened next was a human catastrophe:
scrambling over the top into the face of the German machine guns
and artillery fire, 19,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers were
killed - the greatest loss in a single day ever sustained by the
British Army. The battle did not stop there, however. It dragged on
for another four months, leaving the battlefield strewn with the
bodies of over a million men - and all for the sake of just a few
miles of land. The Somme has remained a byword for the futility of
war ever since. In this major new history of the war, Peter Hart
describes how the battle looked from the point of view of those who
fought it. Using never-heard-before interviews taken from the
Imperial War Museum oral archives and made them part of the
abridged text from the book this will be a unique audio full of
passion, joy and heart rending stories.
