1915, the death of innocence

Amidst shattered hopes, disillusionment and grim resolve, this recounting of the year 1915 during World War I is the story of the British Army and their journey from optimism to "carnage incomparable and human squander." Brutal, frank, sometimes painfully funny, and always human, this is the result of 20 years of research which includes many first-hand accounts: diaries, letters, and interviews with survivors. From the battlefileds of Neuve Chapelle, Ypres, Loos, the Shores of Gallipoli and the Flanders swamps all is told from the viewpoint of the men themselves to form a mix of compelling military history and poignant memories.
