Somme
<p>The year 1916 was one of the great turning-points in British history as the youthful hopes of a generation were crushed in a desperate struggle to survive and traditinoal attitudes to authority were destroyed forever.  On paper few battles have ever been so meticulously planned. Yet while there were good politicall reasons to launch a joint offensive with a French Army demoralized by huge casualties at Verdun the raw troops on the ground knew nothing of that A hundred and fifty thousand were killed in the pusishing attack.  Lyn MacDonald lets the men who were there give their own testimony.</p> Penguin paperback
