"Hardcover with Dust Jacket, clean, tight, unmarked, some dj light edge wrinkles and a small edge chip on back panel top edge, Henry Holt, New York, First American Edition, First Printing. By the end of 1914, the battered British forces were bogged down, yet hopeful that promised reinforcements and spring weather would soon lead to a victorious breakthrough. A year later, after appalling losses at Aubers Ridge, Loos, Neuve Chapelle, Ypres and faraway Gallipoli, fighting seemed set to go on for ever. Drawing on extensive interviews, letters and diaries, this book brilliantly evokes the soldiers' dogged heroism, sardonic humour and terrible loss of innocence through 'a year of cobbling together, of frustration, of indecision'. r n ID: mon0000153891"
