Somme: Great War 100 Years Kindle Edition

by Nigel Cave (Author), Richard van Emden (Author), Tonie Holt (Author), Format: Kindle Edition
3.3 out of 5 stars 11 ratings
This publication, SOMME THE BATTLE 100 YEARS ON, has been published by Pen & Sword Books Ltd, with the purpose of creating an awareness and an interest in theSomme battles of 1916. For nearly thirty years, Pen & Sword Books Ltd has published numerous titles covering various Pals battalions formed for the Big Push. They have also been fore-runners in setting up the Battleground Series guides, which are packed with then and now illustrations, using battle maps from the time and road maps of the sites today. They are all specifically designed to take the tourer safely through these now historic sites. Many more books have been written and published by Pen & Sword on the other battles of the First World War. Only a small portion relating to 1 July 1916 has been taken from each book appearing in this publication. Much more information can been gleaned from reading about the events of the Somme battles and the awful aftermath of the day through reading the books mentioned at the end of each extract.These publications would not have been possible without the skill and dedication of our authors who have painstakingly researched and written about the subjects that bring to light these historic events.

    this book is Ok but does not really delve into all the ramifications of the Battle of the Somme. The casualties were enormous...60,000 British soldiers killed or wounded on Day 1. Incredible. What horrible planning this represents. While interesting, this book could have been better

    3.0 out of 5 stars Muy buenas fotografías.

    La editorial Pen & Sword tiene publicados más de 20 títulos sobre la Batalla del Somme. En 2016, para conmemorar el 100 aniversario de la batalla, publicó este libro hecho con fragmentos de esos libros. Lo mejor son las fotografías, buena parte de ellas coloreadas y, casi siempre, de sorprendente buena calidad. En cuanto al texto, pues no está mal, pero no ofrece una visión completa de ningún aspecto. Ni del desarrollo de los combates, ni de su planificación, ni de la composición de las unidades combatientes...

    Me parece una opción interesante mientras mantenga este precio promocional de 1,20 Euros. Al precio normal de los libros de esta editorial, en torno a los 10 Euros, yo no recomendaría su compra.
