This classic account of World War One from a French officer's perspective has not previously been translated for the original French. Highly Recommended. This book is particularly valuable because it is a translation of a diary kept by a French offer from 1914 to 1918. There is no traditional photo plate section to illustrate the text, but there is no sense of loss at that. This speaks for the vivid writing of the very personal account of life in the French Army one hundred years ago during a terrible war of attrition.

The book is scholarly and detailed but also presents a gripping and engaging view of what the Great War would have been like for typical soldiers. This book is a timely reminder of the horrific conflict that is now disappearing from living memory. I thoroughly recommend it, not only for those with an existing interest in the period, but also for anyone who wants to understand the First World War from the viewpoint of the individual.

' This fascinating book explains how the Allies, after a series of near fatal defeats, ignored their differences and came together to turn the tide decisively against the German Army in the summer of 1918.'
