By Dr Gary Sheffield
Hardback
This book is a collection of essays by well known First World War contributors such as Dr Stephen Bull, Ian Drury, Thomas A. Hoff, Martin Pegler and Ian Sumner. World War I stands as a watershed in the evolution of modern warfare, with the development of sophisticated trench systems forming a battlefield over 400 miles long; innovations in weaponry and equipment; and the introduction of tanks in battle.
Without the ordinary soldier, however, there could have been no war: The Great War was very much a conflict of infantrymen - Tommies, Stormtrooper, Poilus and Doughboys.
