This is a major new work on the notorious First World War battle, the first to argue in significant detail for a complete overhaul of our present view of the Somme. Drawing on a vast number of sources such as letters, diaries and numerous archives, it describes in vivid detail the physical conditions, the combat and exceptional bravery against the odds but it also, uniquely, captures how the Somme defined the twentieth century in so many ways.
