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 *
