Robert Dunlop Posted 24 December , 2005 Share Posted 24 December , 2005 Andrew, I started it... but did not finish. It is a reasonable summary of the last year of the war on the Western Front. As with most books written in English, it does not give enough information about the French contribution. As with most summaries, there are assumptions that do not bear careful scrutiny. Bearing these factors in mind, it is readable and will give you a satisfactory overview of this extraordinary year. Robert, a fellow Kiwi living in a somewhat cooler climate . Merry Christmas.

aconnolly Posted 24 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 24 December , 2005 Cheers Robert I'll read for as you say, the "overview". Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred van Woerkom Posted 24 December , 2005 Share Posted 24 December , 2005 Andrew, I kept the book on my shelf for years until I read it and then I wished I had read it a lot earlier. It is well written and I learnt a lot from it, which is not saying very much, perhaps, but it gave a very good overview,. Merry Christmas!
