Books like The Somme by Peter Hart


From the inside jacket cover... The definitive account of one of the bloodiest battles in world history -- a military tragedy that would come to define a generation. On July 1, 1916, the British Army launched the "Big Push" that was supposed to bring an end to the horrific stalemate on the Western Front between British, French, and German forces. What resulted was one of the greatest single human catastrophes in twentieth century warfare. [...] Expertly weaving together letters, diaries, and other first-person accounts, Peter Hart gives us a fresh approach to The Battle of the Somme.

The missing of the Somme by 6730714|Geoff Dyer book cover

📘 The missing of the Somme
 by Geoff Dyer

'Head bowed, rifle on his back, a soldier is silhouetted against the going down of the sun, looking at the grave of a dead comrade, remembering him. A photograph from the war, is also a photograph of the way the war will be remembered. It is a photograph of the future, of the future's view of the past. We will remember them' Relying more on personal impressions than systematic analysis, Geoff Dyer weaves a network of myth and memory that illuminates our own relation to the past.
