Title: Somme
Description: On 1 July 1916, more than 90 years ago, thousands and thousands of young men rose from their trenches near the River Somme in France and came face to face with death. The Battle of the Somme may be one of the bloodiest battles of one of the bloodiest wars since time began. On the first day of the battle alone the British Forces had almost 20,000 men killed and another 37,000 men wounded. The British historian and biographer Martin Gilbert takes a look at this battle in this book.
