The Western Front
In this presentation, which was delivered live to an on-line audience, Nick Lloyd talks about his latest book, 'The Western Front', the first of a trilogy on the history of the Great War.
Drawing upon the latest scholarship, Nick will re-examine the fighting in France and Belgium between 1914-18, and explain the achievements that have been too long obscured by legends of mud, blood and futility.
Far from being an arena of static, stale attrition - and despite mistakes and wrong turns along the way - the Western Front was a 'cauldron of war' that saw unprecedented innovation, adaptation and tactical development.
