With an uncle killed in action near Ypres in 1915, and his father serving on Field Marshal Haig's staff, it is perhaps no wonder that Nigel Jones has always been fascinated by the First World War. This intriguing account describes Nigel's pilgrimage to the Western Front battlefields. It is a compelling blend of history and travelogue, spiced with personal anecdotes from some of the last surviving veterans of the First World War. Nigel follows the old trench networks from the Belgian coast to the Swiss frontier, bringing each battlefield to life with vivid eyewitness testimony and investigations into how the sites are preserved for modern visitors.
