Description
"An inclusive, intelligent, engaging and accessible commemoration of one of the bloodiest battles in history. It beautifully juxtaposes archive material with contemporary photographs and film footage (much taken at the exact same location as the period material), and is part history, part travelogue, part documentary. Ninety years on, the book also looks at the perception of the battle today -- the changing views, opinions and conjectures -- and provides a contextual portrait of the history, geography and modern experience of the Somme. From HRH The Prince of Wales and Royal British Legion to The Mayor of Thiepval and B&B proprietors, the list of interviewees for the book is long and varied, and all are part of the Somme experience"--Publishers description.
