" Fascinating look at what the experience of battle would have been like in a specific area over a long period of time (north west of Europe in 1415, 1815, and 1916). It's light on tactics but very vivid in evoking what a soldier's experience of the battle might have been like. It's quite selective about what it covers (e.g., the first day of the Somme is the longest section of the book, but the rest of the battle hardly gets a page), but still an interesting read. "
