Reviews / Votes
"Of the many publications appearing to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, this book must stand above the crowd, offering a fascinating new angle on the subject." Your Family Tree"the appeal of this richly illustrated work lies in the maps - barrage maps, diagrams of "battlefield geometry" for artillery, diagrams showing the elevation of craters made by exploding mines, and pioneering aerial photography." Richard Norton-Taylor, The Guardian
"Peter Chasseaud... brings a lifetime's work to fruition by telling the war's story through the maps that charted it"
