Well worth a read - Martin Middlebrook's account of writing, researching and publishing 'The First Day on the Somme'.

It's a recent addition to Tom Morgan's site 'Hellfire Corner'.

Could not agree more, one of the books you just can't put down.

Thought I would have an early night last night; on spotting this thread I checked out MM's piece as above. What a fascinating read it is - shows just how much work goes into a project like TFDOTS.

Got to bed late.

Thanks for the heads up on that, and thanks to Tom Morgan too, a very interesting piece indeed, Martin appears a very unassuming man, and for a man who has probably imho done so much for starting so many people to look into WW1 he desrves every credit he gets.

I found his openness refreshing

Thanks
