From the Author
Evocative insight into the history and sentiments of battle.
This book is my way of bringing insight to those of you seeking understanding of how some of the Twentieth Century's greatest battles have entered modern consciousness and sentiment. More than anything experienced by individuals the collective experience of the Great War has shaped many present day British attitudes to European economic and security matters. Great Battles of the Great War takes you on a journey through the experience of war shared by so many between 1914 and 1918 in the hope that readers can empathise with those distant participants and learn something of how that generation's tragedy can illuminate what we do and experience today.
My book is not a battlefield guide. Nor is it an attempt to create a "then and now" montage. It is however, through the use of Ed Skelding's evocative photographs, an opportunity for readers to visualise the participant's experience and to understand something of how these battlefields' powerful presence can move any visitor's sentiments. My hope is that the text will stimulate your desire to find out more of how history's lessons can be understood through visits to these remarkable places.
The book contains hundreds of contemporary and present day photographs, many in colour. Each image is meaningfully captioned and the imagery of the war is carefully integrated within the text. Throughout that text there runs a commentary which places the conflicts at Gallipoli, on the Somme and Passchendaele into the proper context of the Great War's chronology and progress.
