5.0 out of 5 stars humanises history, 9 May 2007

By	Musicfan "barwill1999" (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews

I am not into WW1 or history in general but this book was given to me. It instructs you on the history of WW1 in general but to one regiment in particular. This has allowed the author to tell you about some of the individuals who fought. It personalises history and demonstrates the tragedy of war and how it affected those individuals. The reasearch is thorough, the diagrams interesting, and the photographs well chosen. The author writes with authority and enthusiastically. This is instructional but it is written in such a way that it is a good read. One is left with the feeling that lives of so many brave men was taken for granted and thrown away for the gain of a few yards. Tragic.
