The Hazy Red Hell

Ed. Tom Donovan. Military specialist Donovan has brought together 50 gripping, often terrifying firsthand accounts of infantry combat on the western front. The episodes cover battles from the first month of the Great War to the last and show how conditions changed from the open warfare of 1914 through the middle years of trench warfare, stalemate, and attrition to the final Allied advance. Includes a glossary of trench and military terms of the period.
