{"product_id":"the-somme","title":"The Somme","description":"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: scrambling out of trenches in the face of German machine guns and artillery fire, the British lost over twenty thousand soldiers during the first day. This \"battle\" would drag on for another four bloody months.Expertly weaving together letters, diaries, and other first-person accounts, Peter Hart gives us a compelling narrative tribute to this infamous tragedy that epitomized the futility of \"the war to end all wars.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1605980161\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1605980161.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hart, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
