Description

Trenchblight by James McBride is a historical novel based on the official war diaries of the Eleventh Battalion, the London Regiment. Against the backdrop of World War I, two brothers, driven by different motivations, enlist to fight for their country. Their innocence and enthusiasm propel them into the infamous Battle of the Somme in 1916, and later, they face the unspeakable horror of Passchendaelle. As they navigate the brutal reality of war, the consequences for themselves and those they love become increasingly tragic. This gripping story tells a true tragedy of the Great War, one that will leave readers with a profound understanding of the human cost of conflict.
