Samenvatting:

Ninety years after the Armistice of 1918, we are still fascinated with the First World War. The Western Front Experience describes the development of the fighting from 1914-1918, spotlighting some of the obscure but important actions and as well as the major battles. From the appalling conditions endured by the soldiers in the trenches, to the generals in their headquarters, this book combines a vivid narrative informed by recent research, and brings to life one of the most terrible periods of warfare the world has ever known. It also includes: diaries, letters and telegrams; maps, plans and orders; and propaganda and posters.
