5.0 out of 5 stars Somme tours, 16 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Walking the Somme (Battleground Europe) (Paperback)
This is an excellant contribution to the Somme books as published by Pen and Sword. Covers some well-known areas, and other areas which have been badly neglected such as Gommecourt and Flers where tanks were used for the first time. What is good about this edition are the well mapped routes and suggestions for the first time visitor. Good photos too, particularly of the devastation the battle caused. Good all round account of what was perhaps the greatest battle of World War One.

5.0 out of 5 stars HAPPY READER, HAPPY WALKER, 20 May 2005

M. C. Best "warwalkeri" (North Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Walking the Somme (Battleground Europe) (Paperback)
I have used this book on a number of recce tours to the Somme. When asked, by battlefield visitors, how best to prepare themselves to get the best from their time on the battlefields, I commend Holts' books and maps as a 'get you in pack'. For those who need greater detail and who wish to walk as well as drive, then I commend the Battleground Europe series. Of this series, this book and its companion volume "Walking the Salient" remain my favourites. They're well-researched, packed with quotations and photographs from primary sources, and provide clearly written, easy-to-follow route descriptions and sketch maps. Paul Reed has invested much of himself in becoming one of the current experts and enthusiasts on WWI matters; and he's always happy to share his knowledge and to encourage others through his excellent website.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 12 July 2004
This review is from: Walking the Somme (Battleground Europe) (Paperback)
This is indeed an excellent walking guide. Tried it last weekend and had no trouble at all finding my way. What it does miss however is an overall map of the area (it does provide a map per walk). A map showing the area around you could really help in finding the towns and villages mentioned in the text.
