Trade Review
I have never seen or read anything that brings the First World War quite so vividly alive. -- Mark Haddon * Guardian *
Does [it] count as a book of the year? It's certainly my meticulously illustrated panorama of the year. -- Craig Taylor * Observer *
Monumental. -- Nigel Jones * Sunday Telegraph Seven *
Sampling this later photographic narrative, published ahead of next year's First World War centenary, left this reader feeling like Tommy Atkins after one of the Great Wa'’s artillery barrages: shell-shocked. -- Sean O'Grady * Independent *
A spectacular pictorial history. -- Fanny Blake * Woman & Home *
