Offering hitherto unpublished evidence of true events leading to Passchendaele and its aftermath, this book throws new light on our understanding of war and the way we view our history. 80 photographs by Horace Nicholls, Ernest Brooks, Warwick Brooke, William Rider-Rider, J.F. Hurely, G.H. Wilkins and others, many reproduced for the first time. Previously unseen drawings, war diaries and cabinet papers. Personal reminiscences of survivors"--Back cover.
