War on the Western Front

Description:

This book examines the day-to-day lives of the men as they fought and died in the trenches, from their recruitment and training to their combat experience. It provides an extensive re-assessment of trench warfare, a revolutionary tactic that challenged the war, and details developments in weaponry and armoured vehicles, including terrifying innovations in the use of poison gas, flamethrowers and tanks.--[jacket cover].
