The Somme: these words conjure the image of war rigidly fought by traditional means even when catastrophe clearly loomed. Relying on personal testimonies never before published, this study of those who survived the first day of battle (July 1, 1916) captures this epic conflagration from all angles. Follow the action as soldiers crawl across No Man’s Land in the face of German guns, struggle with the conditions in the trenches, and survey the scene from the air as the RFC tries to control the skies above the battlefield.

Reseñas editoriales

With never-before-revealed firsthand accounts of World War I survivors, this is a comprehensive look at the Battle of Somme, one of the largest of the war, which took place on July 1, 1916. Listeners will be stunned by immediacy of Peter Hart's writing - it vividly evokes the battlefields, the trenches, and the fear of the soldiers fighting in the war. Especially striking are, of course, the personal testimonies of survivors. Mark Ashby's clear-as-a-bell narration adds a bit of calm to this gripping audiobook experience.

There is no battle, or rather battles, that compare to the Somme. The death toll is unconscionable on both sides. Peter Hart brings the battle full circle, making the reader feel like a stunned bystander. And with this, taking it in is slightly more possible. Mark Ashby’s narration is spot on, not overly morose, but just right. The Somme is humanity at its worst, best, and somewhere in the middle.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this while driving back and forth to work. World War I has captivated my imagination ever since I read the autobiography of Harry Patch, “The Last Tommy”. Peter Hart captures the misery, the horror, and the soldiers perspective of this battle. I highly recommend this book.

This book Somme, is a detailed history of a very complex battle. However, the author tells the story through the words of hundreds of ordinary soldiers, who participated and in doing so also makes this battle history, dramatic, heart-breaking and yet clearly understandable. Also the narrator does a wonderful presentation.7
