Beschreibung
The mighty struggle for the Somme sector of the Western Front in the second half of 1916 has come to be remembered for the dreadful toll of casualties inflicted on Britain's 'New Armies' by the German defenders on the first day of the offensive, 1 July. The battle continued, however, throughout the autumn and only came to a close in the bitter cold of mid-November. The British plan relied on the power of artillery to suppress and destroy the German defences; the infantry were tasked with taking and holding the German trenches, but minimal resistance was anticipated. Both sides incurred major losses, however; German doctrine emphasised that the first line had to be held or retaken at all costs, a rigid defensive policy that led to very high casualties as the Germans threw survivors into ad hoc, piecemeal counterattacks all along the line. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and based on meticulous reassessment of the sources, this engaging study pits the volunteers of Kitchener's 'New Armies' against the German veterans who defended the Somme sector in the bloody battles of July-November 1916.

Zusammenfassung
Britain's mass army of volunteers - the 'New Armies' - saw their first prolonged test in the bloody struggle for the Somme sector in 1916, in which their frequently outnumbered German opponents proved to be staunch in defence but were often committed to bloody and inconclusive counterattacks. In this fully illustrated study an authority on infantry tactics pits these two forces against one another in the unforgiving terrain of the Somme battlefield in a clash that would shape infantry doctrine for both sides.
