The quality of the images is outstanding, mostly in monochrome but including colour images. This is a unique and valuable series as 100th anniversary books - Very Highly Recommended The photographic selection encapsulates the final year of a war that had seemed never ending. The carnage in the trenches was terrible as soldiers fought for the first time with a combination of new weapons that had never been used together on that enormous scale before. The images display the terror, the destruction, the exhaustion, the despair, the misery, the relief, and the triumph in a way that words alone cannot adequately describe. Text is confined to captions and extended captions, no more is necessary in this visual recounting of the War to End All Wars that prepared the way for a second terrible global war. No student, historian or military professional can afford to be without this unique collections of images, many of which are extremely rare.
