Format:Hardcover
I bought this shortly before a trip to the battlefields late in 2008, thinking it would make suitable reading while away. I was wrong, not least since this is a very big, very heavy book. Definitely one to be sat before at a table and considered seriously.
So, no field-spotter's guide, but an amazingly revealing and informative reference book which has captivated me for many hours since my return.
It is almost impossible to envisage what that part of the world was like during the war by visiting it today, even on a cold, damp and misty November. However, this book and the panoramas it contains help you mentally overlay the contemporary scene and glimpse into the alien world millions of men fought and died in.
As with so much about the First World War, it comes as a shock, especially driving across today's customs-less borders, to think that so much effort and life was wasted doing little more than moving mud about.
Highly recommended, especially to those wishing to go beyond the usual history book format.

When it comes to buying something really exciting about the Great War then you will not do any better than Peter Barton's epic book. It shows a genuine commitment to furthering interest in the War by producing fascinating new material and to the highest standard. The panoramas alone are good enough to take your breath away, but the text and the intergrated images are superb; I can't imagine the amount of effort that went into this book. However, the results make the purchase worth every penny. Well done Mr Barton.

Having missed this product`s first printing i couldn`t wait for the second edition to come out. I already own `The Somme` and `Passchendaele` by the same author and this was not a disappointment, the detail well researched and panoramas unrivalled. I don`t know how long it takes to write a book like this but it was certainly worth the time. Between all 3 books there can`t be much of this sector of the Western front unchartered. I heartliy recommend this for any WW1 enthusiast.
