1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate and disappointing, 11 Feb 2005
By A Customer
I bought this book, as it was sold as a new and updated version, but despite the court martial documents having been available for some years some basic errors are uncorrected, e.g. stating that Oyns was shot for desertion, whereas he was really shot for murder. On following up some of the references quoted I found that some have been taken out of context and used selectively to represent the authors' views. This sad episode of history appears to be used to make a political point, instead of presenting an unbiased account.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable aid in tracing the fate of these unfortunates., 10 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This excellent publication was used by my wife and I in our self-imposed quest to visit the grave or commemoration site of every soldier and sailor executed on the Western Front during WW1.We found the book invaluable as we first of all covered the salient at Ieper and then worked our way southwards ending up in the City of Paris itself.The book was carried with us at all times and we read out the various reports at each graveside.Without the aid of this book we would have had an impossible task but we finally managed to locate them all eventually even finding the two lads executed in Paris and later re-interred in a second cemetery.Well Done the two authors for this excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Damn Useful, 28 April 2004
This review is from: Shot at Dawn: Executions in World War One by Authority of the British Army Act (Hardcover)
This is an excellent reference item and has helped my research intoseveral soldiers and their fate. It shows that at the start of the 20thCentury there was little chance for those suffering from "Shell Shock". Nodoubt there were those who chose to desert from the army and were shot ascowards. There were however those who without doubt were suffering frommental health issues and who should have been recognised as such. It is atragic loss of life, to be shot by your own side when clearly they wereill. The Government continues to deny pardons for these men, no doubt dueto the poor records kept at the time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and flawed
Despite new evidence being available this 'updated' version is still pervaded by the limitations of the original research. Read more
