| Title: Three Armies on the Somme Author: William Philpott William Philpott is at the forefront of contemporary military historians, and Three Armies on the Somme book promises to be the defining work on the First World War’s largest, most influential battle. While previous books have concentrated on the British story and the tragic events of the first day, Three Armies on the Somme will look at the engagement in the round – from both the British, French and German perspectives. In the narrative strong emphasis will at all times be placed on the human experience, but the author grasps equally well the twists and turns of high strategy and political intrigue.
Beyond this William Philpott brings a wonderfully broad focus to bear on the full cultural, social and political ramifications of the battle of the Somme, revealing how our modern world was effectively introduced by this pivotal event.
