This is a general information book about two great First World War battles, Verdun and the Somme, both in 1916. What is unique about this book is that it is packed full of interesting information, is extraordinarily comprehensive, and, for the history geek in all of us, primary documents, maps and artifacts have been faithfully replicated - even down to the stamps on the (cardboard) envelopes.

It also comes with a multimedia CD. A very nice piece of kit to have. ( )
