"On the basis that anyone with an interest in military history should never be in a position of not knowing at least the smatterings of the varied and innumerable struggles that have engulfed the planet since the beginning of time, and because this is also a centernary year for the start of WWI, I picked up this book, which has been on the bedside reading pile for far too long
I guess I should state up front that Richard Holmes is my favourite military historian bar none, and by a country mile over any others, so it's unlikely that the following is going to be a bad review
A comparatively small book, this is an overview of the British Armies involvement with the Western Front theatre in WWI – he touches on the other armies (both allied and enemy) and he also mentions other theatres, but only in as much as those other armies and theatres impacted on the Western Front
