In 1914, Germany launched an invasion of France through neutral Belgium -- and brought the wrath of the world upon itself. Ypres became a place of horror, heroism, and terrifying new tactics and technologies: poison gas, tanks, mines, air strikes, and the unspeakable misery of trench warfare. Drawing on the journals of the men and women who were there, Winston Groom has penned a breathtaking drama of politics, strategy, and the human heart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A dramatic, thoughtful, and extremely humanistic treatment of this heartbreaking chapter in early twentieth-century history."<br><br>"At a time when patriotizm is strong among Americans, it would be good to read this entertaining and instructive narrative."<br><br>"This is a storyteller's narrative of handy size....Groom is very good at describing the constant terrors of this species of warfare."<br>
