The Somme by A.H. Farrar-Hockley

This is a critically acclaimed classic history of the military engagements of the Somme that raged from July to November 1916. It tells of bloody battles interspersed with trench actions of dreadful intensity. In addition to the key confrontations, Farrar-Hockley provides a detailed background to the Somme planning and why it failed with dreadful casualties. In its entirety, the conflict along the Somme scarred the minds of a whole generation, becoming recorded by historians as the graveyard of the 'flower of British manhood'. 

The book is obviously old , it is in good condition, and does feel as though it has not been read ,

due to its age, the pages have browned , but the text and print is still clear and easily read.

There is no major damage - just the usual scars of storage,handling etc.

I need the shelf space for new material , so i am having a clear out !!

feel free to make an overly large bid or offer 👍😁🤞

If you have any questions, need more photos, drop me a message.
