Millions of men lived in the trenches during World War I. More than six million died there.

Recensioner i media

Describes graphically the disgusting, revolting conditions of hunger, infestation, disease, and above all, fatigue that were endured... Few will 'enjoy' this book, but the author very well records an important peak in the history of human achievement. West Coast Review of Books
