Martin Bennitt Posted 27 December , 2009 Share Posted 27 December , 2009 just finished this -- paperback edition which I bought together with Peter Hart's '1918', to be read next so it should be interesting to put them head to head, so to speak. also find this book difficult to put down: an enthralling account of a battle which I had tended to think of as almost a sideshow, but was clearly much more important with regard to the development of tactics and weaponry. as I happen to be suffering from a baddish bout of sciatica at the moment it was something welcome to turn to when woken up in the middle of the night with shooting pains in the old leg. It has also encouraged me to visit the ground before too long. 'fraid the maps are still the wrong way round, though congratulations Bryn, looking forward to your next opus cheers Martin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchtrotter Posted 27 December , 2009 Share Posted 27 December , 2009 I too enjoyed the book and having finished it immediately started Jack Sheldons "German Army At Cambrai" to get the other side. Both excellant and my understanding of the battle is now far better than three months ago. Well done both authors. TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Connolly Posted 23 March , 2010 Share Posted 23 March , 2010 I ventured into the Sinful Big City yesterday and bought a copy. It being lunchtime at work, I'm just about to start it. I've already looked at the Acknowledgements and seen all the usual suspects mentioned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
