Title: an honest, enjoyable read about life in the trenches
Product review: Having long had more than a passing interest in the Great War, this was a natural choice when amazon offered it as a free download for the kindle. The author (who claims not to be the subject of the book, but in fact is) is straightforward in the British stiff-upper-lipped tradition, but leaves enough on the table and between the lines for the mind to make ample work of. I really enjoyed it, and if you have even a passing interest in the meat grinders (the Somme, Paschedale, Hill 60, among many) of the western front and some of the further reaching implications of the war, this is definitely a must read, and can certainly be enjoyed by anyone. A+.
