chris basey Posted 12 December , 2004 Share Posted 12 December , 2004 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'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto_33853 Posted 12 December , 2004 Share Posted 12 December , 2004 Could not agree more, one of the books you just can't put down. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted 13 December , 2004 Share Posted 13 December , 2004 The one book more than any other that got me interested in studying the events of 1914-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 13 December , 2004 Share Posted 13 December , 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scarletto Posted 13 December , 2004 Share Posted 13 December , 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
