With a foreword by renowned World War I historian Dr Gary Sheffield, War on the Western Front examines the day-to-day lives of the brave men of the First World War, as they died in the trenches, from their recruitment & their training to their combat experience, vividly recounting the shock of life on the front.

This book has a collection of essays by well known First World War contributors such as Dr Stephen Bull, Ian Drury, Thomas A. Hoff, Martin Pegler & Ian Sumner.

World War I stands as a watershed in the evolution of modern warfare, with the development of sophisticated trench systems forming a battlefield over 400 miles long; innovations in weaponry & equipment; & the introduction of tanks in battle. Without the ordinary soldier, however, there could have been no war: The Great War was very much a conflict of infantrymen
- Tommies, Stormtrooper, Poilus & Doughboys.

War on the Western Front provides an extensive re-assessment of trench warfare, a revolutionary tactic that challenged the very idea of war, & details developments in weaponry & armoured vehicles, including terrifying innovations in the use of poison gas, flamethrowers & tanks.

Product Description

At the fortress of the eagles, three kings will fight…

Uhtred of Bebbanburg has won back his ancestral home but, threatened from all sides by enemies both old & new, he doesn’t have long to enjoy the victory.

In Mercia, rebellion is in the air as King Edward tries to seize control. In Wessex, rival parties scramble to settle on the identity of the next king. & across the country invading Norsemen continue their relentless incursion, ever hungry for l&.

Uhtred – a legendary warrior, admired & sought as an ally, feared as an adversary – finds himself once again torn between his two heritages: fighting on what he considers the wrong side, cursed by misfortune & tragedy & facing one of his most formidable enemies. Only the most astute cunning, the greatest loyalty & the most spectacular courage can save him.

For decades, Uhtred has stood at the intersection between Pagan & Christian, between Saxon & Viking, between the old world he was born into & the new world being forged around him. But as the winds of change gather pace, the pressure on Uhtred as father, as politician & as warrior grows as never before.
