Synopsis
A frontline account of gas and artillery warfare in World War I, seen through the eyes of a company commander and his men.
This memoir offers a granular view of the tactical use of gas, smoke, and thermite in night-and-day operations across multiple French sectors. It follows the experiences of a US Army unit as they install projectors, coordinate with infantry, and navigate harsh weather, shifting front lines, and the constant pressure of enemy fire. The narrative balances technical detail with the human stories of orders, injuries, and endurance in the trenches and rear areas.
- Learn how gas, smoke, and thermite barrages were planned and executed in support of infantry advances.
- See how small unit actions, from mortar placements to forward reconnaissance, influenced larger operations.
- Follow the challenges of supply, movement, and weather that shaped day-to-day decisions.
- Get a soldier’s-eye view of the rhythm of campaigns, rest periods, and relocations behind the lines.
