This classic survery of the Somme battlefield in 1916 is supported by a wide selection of archive photographs and the testimony of those who took part. It covers both the famous battle sites and lesser known villages on the outlying flanks, and includes a day-by-day account of the British build-up on the Somme and the ensuing struggle; British and German orders of battle; and a full history of the cemeteries and memorials. There are also thumbnail biographies of all the senior officers to fall, as well as the winners of the Victoria Cross and those who were 'shot at dawn'.
