Condition: New. Softback, 256 pagesPublished Price £14.99 Their testimony gives a striking insight into the mentality of the troops and their experience of combat, their emotional ties to their relatives at home, their opinions about their commanders and their fellow soldiers, the appalling conditions and dangers they endured, and their attitude to their German enemy. In their own words, in diaries, letters, reports and memoirs - most of which have never been published in English before - they offer a fascinating inside view of the massive life-and-death struggle that took place on the Western Front. Ian Sumner provides a concise narrative of the war in order to give a clear context to the eyewitness material. In effect the reader is carried through the experience of each phase of the war on the Western Front and sees events as soldiers and civilians saw them at the time. This emphasis on eyewitness accounts provides an approach to the subject that is completely new for an English-language publication.

Condition: New. Softback, 156 pages Published Price £14.99 The French air force of the First World War developed as fast as the British and German air forces, yet its history, and the enormous contribution it made to the eventual French victory, is often forgotten. So Ian Sumner's photographic history, which features almost 200 images, most of which have not been published before, is a fascinating and timely introduction to the subject. The fighter pilots, who usually dominate perceptions of the war in the air, play a leading role in the story, in particular the French aces, the small group of outstanding airmen whose exploits captured the publics imagination. Their fame, though, tends to distract attention from the ordinary unremembered airmen who formed the body of the air force throughout the war years. Ian Sumner tells their story too, as well as describing in a sequence of memorable photographs the less well-known branches of the service the bomber and reconnaissance pilots and the variety of primitive warplanes they flew.

Condition: New. Softback, 160 pagesPublished Price £14.99 So much has been written about the 1916 Battle of the Somme that it might appear that every aspect of the four-month struggle has been described and analysed in exhaustive detail. Yet perhaps one aspect has not received the attention it deserves - the French sector in the south of the battlefield.Using a selection of over 200 wartime photographs, some of which have not been published before, he follows the entire course of the battle from the French point of view. The photographs show the build-up to the Somme offensive, the logistics involved, the key commanders, the soldiers as they prepared to go into action and the landscape over which the battle took place. Equally close coverage is given to the fighting during each phase of the offensive - the initial French advances, the mounting German resistance and the terrible casualties the French incurred. The photographs are especially important in that they record the equipment and weapons that were used, the clothing the men wore and the conditions in which they fought, and they provide us with a visual insight into the realities of battle over a hundred years ago. They also document some of the most famous sites on the battlefield before they were destroyed in the course of the fighting, including villages like Gommecourt, Pozià res, La Boiselle and Thiepval.

2010, first edition, 192pp. Illustrated. Paperback. In very good condition. "Bristol-born John Wheeley Gough Gutch originally trained as a surgeon before eventually becoming a photographer. A contemporary of Fox Talbot, he was experimenting with photography as early as 1841, making him one of the earliest known photographers working in the West of England. His work, influenced by the poets and painters of the period, has remained virtually undiscovered for more than 150 years. Like many educated men of the period Gutch was interested in all things scientific, literary and artistic and wrote a series of articles for Thomas Sutton's Photographic Notes. His personal albums dating from 1856-1860 are a fascinating collection of work featuring the people and places of Cornwall and Devon, Malvern in Worcestershire, Somerset, Bristol and the Lake District. Partially paralyzed and using a cumbersome wet-plate camera that doubled as a darkroom, Gutch had to traverse miles of muddy rural tracks by horse and carriage. This selection of more than 100 images from his five albums, now published for the first time, provides a remarkable historic record of the places and people working in what are now often rare or extinct industries - pilchard fishermen or tin miners, as well as portraits of family groups or working children, landscapes, villages and geological studies.".
