Great Battles of the Great War - Hardcover

My book is not a battlefield guide. Nor is it an attempt to create a "then and now" montage. It is however, through the use of Ed Skelding's evocative photographs, an opportunity for readers to visualise the participant's experience and to understand something of how these battlefields' powerful presence can move any visitor's sentiments. My hope is that the text will stimulate your desire to find out more of how history's lessons can be understood through visits to these remarkable places.

The book contains hundreds of contemporary and present day photographs, many in colour. Each image is meaningfully captioned and the imagery of the war is carefully integrated within the text. Throughout that text there runs a commentary which places the conflicts at Gallipoli, on the Somme and Passchendaele into the proper context of the Great War's chronology and progress.
