Notes
"Another book on the 1916 Somme Campaign, I hear you say as you pick a copy off the shelf" - as the author says in his Introduction. He asks what does this book do that the others do not? His answer is that some concentrate on politics, some on the first day of the campaign, some on the German view and some on personal experiences. This one, the author says, concentrates on the British Army's whole experience during the whole of the five and a half month campaign. The reader is left to decide to what extent the author has succeeded in presenting a new view of the overall battle.
