"Battle of the Somme" details the beginning and end of the important battle of World War I - the Battle of the Somme - from multiple perspectives such as battlefield terrain, troop strength of both sides, generals, armaments, formations, marches, and engagements. The author strives to use as detailed historical materials as possible to completely describe the extremely tragic Battle of the Somme that resulted in millions of casualties. Compared with ordinary obscure military documents, this book has a stronger literary flavor. In the author's writing, the soldiers who rushed out of the trenches were no longer cold killing machines.
