Media Reviews
'Peter Hart pays handsome tribut to the 'ordinary soldiers...' ... one could not wish for a more appropriate testimony to that generation for which the Somme was much more than a topic for academic research or a source of poignant reflection.' LITERARY REVIEW 'A monumental feat of research, his book is also a memorial of the most compelling kind to the hundreds of individuals whose diaries, letters and recollections are presented so vividly here.' THE SCOTSMAN '[Hart] has produced a remarkably even-handed account... and the first-person accounts he has unearthed are rich in vivid images...' SUNDAY TIMES 'Hart has succeeded in presenting his massive subject with objective clarity... the material gives it curious immediacy... brilliantly well-written extracts... Prepare to be enlightened, but prepare to feel respect for all the men involved.' SOLDIER MAGAZINE 'Excellent' TLS 'Hart is an accomplished author of anecdotal histories and here he is on top form... it deserves a wide readership.' BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE
