companion on a battlefield visit.

One of the features of WWI on the Western Front was the number of 
battles fought over the same ground through the conflict there. The 
three Battles of the Aisne featured the British in the first, 1914, 
and third, 1918, where the BEF was heavily engaged. The second battle 
in 1917 was a French failure. This book is the first English language 
publication to provide a complete and in-depth guide to the battlefield.

The fact that three battles were fought on the same ground demonstrates 
the importance of this terrain. Across the three battles, there were 
significant changes in technology and tactics, making this a rewarding 
subject for study.

For those planning to visit the Aisne, this is an essential review that 
contains all of the detail to make the greatest benefit of a visit.

The unusual terrain shaped the battles and this is presented in an 
understandable manner that makes sense of the history.
