A typical month for a soldier of the First World War might comprise four days in the front line, four in support, eight in reserve and the remainder in rest, although longer spells at the front were not uncommon. This classic book, first published in 1978, was among the first to focus on the experience of ordinary soldiers, drawing on personal accounts to tell their story from enlisting to battle and its aftermath.

Review:
An engrossing view of what it was like to live in the trenches, go on leave, get wounded, et cetera, and features voice after voice from the ranks (Telegraph)

Highly readable . . . it transforms the individual soldier into the subject of history and the war itself into a series of intense states of consciousness lived out at the very edge of endurance (Time Out)

A compelling account of what the war was like for the ordinary soldier (Professor Trevor Wilson)

A novel and arresting approach to the writing of military history (John Keegan New Statesman)
