PRAISE FOR HUGH SEBAG-MONTEFIORE'S SOMME

'Having read almost everything that is written on this battle, I can vouch that this is the best account yet. Sebag-Montefiore deserves congratulation for restoring humanity to this battle'
Gerard DeGroot, The Times

'Magisterial, exemplary, heartbreaking. So original is the material, and so inventive is Sebag-Montefiore's approach - telling each stage of the fight from the perspective of both the combatants and their families back home - that this well-known tale is rendered strange again. Written with great style and sensitivity, superbly illustrated with many original plates and beautifully drawn maps, Sebag-Montefiore's brilliant new study will set the benchmark for a generation'
Saul David, Daily Telegraph

'Sebag-Montefiore's combination of thoughtful analysis with first-hand testimony from army soldiers, cameramen and diarists lends a gritty immediacy'
Ian Thomson, Observer

'The best historians of the war have always made good use of the words written by the participants themselves, but few have done so as effectively as here. A moving record'
Daily Mail
