BBC, 1996. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 6.5" x 9.5. P/B 224 pages, condition is very good. For hundreds of years, battles have raged over the area of Northern France and Belgium known as the 'fatal avenue'. In War Walks, renowned military historian Richard Holmes explores six of the region's most intriguing battlefields, vividly recreating the atmosphere of their bloody history. .Agincourt 1415 - the triumph of the English longbow .Waterloo 1815 - the Allied defeat of Napoleon .Mons and Le Cateau 1914 - the opening battles of the First World War .The Somme 1916 - a costly First World War offensive .Arras 1940 - a British attack on advancing German Panzer divisions .Operation Goodwood 1944 - a British battle in the break-out from Normandy Using his expert knowledge of weapons and warfare, Richard Holmes provides a clear picture of the events which led up to each battle, the conflicts themselves, and the men who fought them. Men such as the archers at Agincourt, who were so ill that many discarded their breeches and fought half-naked; the British commander who, in the middle of a bitter fight during the Waterloo campaign, promised his men punishment for stealing fruit from an orchard; and the German officer who, when facing British rifle-fire at Mons, shared a bottle of champagne with his troops before giving the order to advance. Holmes, using practical 'views of the field', journeys through the battlefields as they lie today, pointing out their places of interest, paying tribute to the men who fought there, and bringing history to life.
