Description
The year 1916 was one of the great turning-points in British history. Lyn Macdonald explores this pivotal moment through the stories of the men who fought at the Battle of the Somme. Their experiences are vivid, harrowing and sometimes terrifying, yet shot through with humour, immense courage and an astonishing spirit of resilience. The battle itself was a complex and brutal affair, with over 150,000 casualties - more than twice that number were wounded. Yet despite the devastating toll, the men who fought on the Somme gave their own testimony, sharing their stories in a powerful and moving way. Through these personal accounts, Lyn Macdonald sheds light on one of the most significant events of the First World War, revealing the human cost of this pivotal moment in history.
