Paperback. Condition: New. 'A fascinating and brilliantly illustrated book, an invaluable guide for future generations of Great War archaeologists.' - Times Higher Education SupplementWhilst the war raged across Flanders fields, an equally horrifying and sometimes more dangerous battle took place underground. Beneath Flanders Fields tells the story of the tunnellers' war, which still remains one of the most misunderstood, misrepresented and mystifying conflicts of the Great War.A wealth of personal testimonies reveal the engineering, technology and science behind how this most intense of battles was fought - and won. They speak of how the tunnellers lived a relentless existence in the depths of the battlefield for almost two and a half years, enduring physical and mental stresses that were often more extreme than their infantry counterparts. Their lives were reduced to a complex war of silence, tension and claustrophobia, leading up to the most dramatic mine offensive in history launched on 7 June 1917 at Messines Ridge. Yet, Messines was not the end of their story, which continued with the crafting of a whole underground world of headquarters, cookhouses and hospitals, housing the innumerable troops who passed through this part of the Western Front.Here, this extraordinary, hidden world is revealed and the fragile legacy it has left behind on Flanders fields is brought to light.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Very slight rubbing to jacket corners, little wear overall. Jacket in Brodart for preservation. Quite clean. 'The tunnellers' war still remains one of the most misunderstood, misrepresented and mystifying conflicts of the Great War. The product of over twenty-five years of research, [this book] illustrates the evolution of military mining, leading to its deployment in the greatest siege in military history - in the trenches of the Western Front. In the Ypres Salient, the secret struggle beneath No Man's Land became one of engineering, technology and science - and of carefully calculated assassination. In the words of the tunnellers themselves, and through previously unpublished photographs - many in colour - as well as contemporary plans and drawings, this book reveals how this most intense of battles was fought - and won.' Illustrated. 304 pages. May require extra shipping, 8.85 x 11.15 inches. Size: 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Book.
