Beneath the Killing Fields of the Western Front still lies a hidden
landscape of industrialised conflict virtually untouched since
1918. This subterranean world is an ambiguous environment filled
with material culture that that objectifies the scope and depth of
human interaction with the diverse conflict landscapes of modern
war. Covering the military reasoning for taking the war
underground, as well as exploring the way that human beings
interacted with these extraordinary alien environments, this book
provides a more all-encompassing overview of the Western Front. The
underground war was intrinsic to trench warfare and involved far
more than simply trying to destroy the enemy's trenches from below.
It also served as a home to thousands of men, protecting them from
the metallic landscapes of the surface.With the aid of cutting edge
fieldwork conducted by the author in these subterranean locales,
this book combines military history, archaeology and anthropology
together with primary data and unique imagery of British, French,
German and American underground defences in order to explore the
realities of subterranean warfare on the Western Front, and the
effects on the human body and mind that living and fighting
underground inevitably entailed.
