[Diana O’Neil]

This is a remarkable body of work. Not overly academic, not war-nerdy, not war or peace preachy, simply great writing, a straightforward communication of the progress of this ghastly long event. Recommended for immersive enjoyment. It takes you back to then: those at the Front, those at home, the top brass and the grunt, the animals, the food, the cock-ups and the victories. Thank you, David Hargreaves.
