My great grandfather was at most of these battles. My mum recalls him being "a miserable sod" but reading what he went through you can see why. There were honestly times reading this book when I had to put it down and get my breath back or wipe tears away. Some passages will stick with me.
The only down mark is that sometimes the tactical picture gets lost (though that might reflect the chaos of the battlefield) and Robin Neillands' book The Death of Glory: The Western Front, 1915 makes a good companion for that purpose. But I'd recommend this book as the centenaries of these forgotten battles come round. ( )
