I really enjoyed reading this book, which is a series of articles by the author relating to his visits to the still atmospheric battlefields of the First World War, in Belgium and France, between 1985 and 1995. When his visits were complete, he had travelled the whole 450 mile length of the Western Front, often on foot, from the English Channel to the Swiss border, and had visited places that were still relatively unchanged from the day the war ended, not to mention places that were downright spooky and haunted by the ghosts of the millions of men who fought and died there. The author brings his personal perspective to the conflict, and the book makes for a very different and quite touching view of the “War to end all Wars”, including the impact that it had on not only European society, but on the countryside and its inhabitants. Highly recommended. This 1997 Hardcover is in very good condition, with no internal markings and nominal dust jacket wear.
