1917. After the stunning victory at Messines the British Army are poised to strike once more at the Germans. Hopes are high that the offensive will shatter the German hold in Flanders once and for all. However, the Germans are prepared to meet the attack with a stubborn defence. They will not yield a single inch of ground without a fight. The battle is set to be a bloody struggle, a deciding clash of empires where the fate of the entire war hangs in the balance. Harry and his section are thrown into a savage fight of attrition, an endless, grinding hell of unrivalled ferocity as the mud soaked Flanders plain becomes host to a battle that will be remembered for all time as Passchendaele.

The relentless weather and appalling living conditions of trench life , the fear , the jubilation etc they all went through , cracking book once again . Look forward to more novels by this great author.
