description: The 1916 Battle of the Somme is one of history’s bloodiest moments, with more than one million casualties in five months. Analyzing hitherto unknown archival material, including long-lost interviews of British POWs by German interrogators, historian Christopher Duffy paints a picture that will change your perception of the past. While the battle is often seen as a defeat for the British, for the first time the German perspective―such as their respect for the British forces and their own massive losses―is explored.
