Viac o knihe

Focusing on the Battle of the Somme, William Philpott presents a compelling argument that this pivotal conflict was crucial for British and French forces in ultimately achieving victory in World War I. He highlights the introduction of new technologies, such as armored tanks, and the challenges of communication that shaped military strategy. By examining the concept of attrition as a necessary approach against industrialized warfare, Philpott's work challenges established perceptions of the battle and redefines our understanding of modern warfare.
