Description
An exclusive hardback edition for WHSmith of two bestselling, intimate histories of the Great War, told from the perspectives of the soldiers themselves. The Last Fighting Tommy: Harry Patch, the last living British Tommy who had fought in the trenches during World War One, passed away in 2009, at the age of 111. This is his story. From Patch's vivid memories of an Edwardian childhood, through the horrors of the battles of Ypres and Passchendaele to working on the home front in the Second World War and fame in later life as a veteran, The Last Fighting Tommy is the tale of an ordinary man's extraordinary life. A hundred years after the end of the Great War, this powerful account of a life defined by those four devastating years remains as important and relevant as ever. The Soldier?s War: In The Soldier's War, Richard van Emden traces a history of the fighting month by month and year by year, using original diaries, letters and as-yet-unseen photographs taken by the soldiers themselves.
