Review

"This book should be high on the list of any serious reader with a general interest in the First World War. For those interested in the history of military mapping, it is essential." Military History Monthly

Of the many publications appearing to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, this book must stand above the crowd, offering a fascinating new angle on the subject. Your Family Tree

the appeal of this richly illustrated work lies in the maps barrage maps, diagrams of "battlefield geometry" for artillery, diagrams showing the elevation of craters made by exploding mines, and pioneering aerial photography. Richard Norton-Taylor, The Guardian

Peter Chasseaud... brings a lifetime s work to fruition by telling the war s story through the maps that charted it

Reasonable but I would not use it for research.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2019

Verified Purchase

I have not had the time to fully study the book since purchase but it seems to be a reasonable account of the mapping of the battlefields. Personally if I had looked at the book prior to purchase I would probably put it back on the self, some photos do not seem to be in context with the text and are in place to pack out the text. For the price I cannot complain.

A rip-off

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2019

Verified Purchase

at £3.99 for a book that has lots of unreadable maps unless you possess a very strong magnifying glass; is simply a rip-off.

The history within leaving aside a book thats about maps and mapping adds little to make up for this deficiency. Perhaps I should have guessed it would prove a waste of money. Curiosity and hope influenced me!

Brought for my elderly mum who's dad took part in various battles in WW1 in the middle east, who keeps being reminded of the sites of these battles when they are mentioned in the news today.
It's a fascinating reference book.

Great book and very detailed, bought it to understand my Grandfathers experience and movements of his unit ahead of a visit planned to the WW1 battlefields next year.

I had looked forward to this product and expected a book full of trench maps from the Western Front. However, I was disappointed to find that it wasn't.

Excellent insight into Maps of WW1 and trench warfare. I am currently undertaking a family genealogy project and this has further improved my understanding of trench system warfare. Delivery and condition of book upon receipt spot on. Many thanks

Complements any study of the First World War

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2014

Should you ever need to present you research on a battle of the First World War you will need a map or maps to illustrate the narrative - this, though selectively, will do the job. An insightful selection of what is available to the professional researcher or historian.
