ABOUT
Gibbs's 1917 book gathered 39 of his uniquely perceptive and vividly written articles written as a war correspondent after July 1, 1916, when "hundreds of thousands of British troops rose out of the ditches. . . and began a series of battles as fierce and bloody as anything the old earth has seen on such a stretch of ground since the beginning of human strife."
The work ends in October 1916, after covering every detail of the great summer offensive.
Includes fold-out map.
