Customer Reviews

Well written, indepth research and plenty of amazing tales

Ashworth's book is notable in the fact that he has done his homework and the book is rich in detail and flavor of the horrid conditions of trench warfare.He compiles plenty of information regarding the 'live and let live' system between the warring factions. There are some humorous stories blended in with grim stories of trench raids gone bad. The daily life of the infantry is detailed and his writing style is brisk in some areas and very detailed in others.Anyone interested in the actions in the trenches should enjoy this one.
