Even now, 100 years on from the conflict, the image of trenches
stretching across Western Europe - packed with young men clinging
to life in horrendous conditions - remains a powerful reminder of
one of the darkest moments in human history. In this excellent
study of trench warfare on the Western Front, expert Dr Stephen
Bull reveals the experience of life in the trenches, from length of
service and coping with death and disease, to the uniforms and
equipment given to soldiers on both sides of the conflict. He
reveals how the trenches were constructed, the weaponry which was
developed specifically for this new form of warfare, the tactics
employed in mass attacks and the increasingly adept defensive
methods designed to hold ground at all cost. Packed with
photographs, illustrations, annotated trench maps, documents and
first-hand accounts, this compelling narrative provides a richly
detailed account of World War I, providing a soldier's-eye-view of
life in the ominous trenches that scarred the land.
