Description

The definitive guide to the main theater of WWI';maps of the battles . . . military strategy . . . extraordinary anecdotes . . . it's a triumph' (Daily Mail).

Written by the author of the three previous bestselling Companions on Waterloo, Trafalgar and Gettysburgnow acclaimed as the definitive work of reference on each battleThe Western Front Companion is not a mere chronological account of the fighting. Rather, it is an astonishingly comprehensive and forensic anatomy of how and why the armies fought, of their weapons, equipment and tactics, for over four long and bloody years on a battlefield that stretched from the Belgian coast to the Swiss frontiera distance of 450 miles. Alongside the British Army, full coverage is given to Britain's alliesFrance, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, India and the United Statesas well as the Germans.

The 350,000 words of text range over everything from the railways on the front to the medical corps and the chaplains. Like previous Companions, this book is equally distinguished by its magnificent visual resourcesoriginal and intricate maps and diagrams, over 200 resonant and remarkable archive images from the time (many rarely seen), and modern color photographs showing how historic battlefields look nowadays, and paying tribute to the magnificent and poignant cemeteries, monuments and ossuaries that mark the fallen for today's battlefield visitor.

Every reader, no matter how well informed already on the history of World War I, will learn something new from this extraordinary and exhaustive volume. No one interested in the true story and sheer sweep of the Great War on the Western Front can afford to be without it.
