Many millions of them experienced horrendous enemy attacks on entrenched positions that stretched across France and Belgium, as well as further afield. This groundbreaking book relives twenty-four hours of an actual Platoon under attack, using a battalion war diary to follow the assault hour by hour. A team of historians and archaeologists reconstructs the fighting, revealing how the British Tommy defended his hard-won positions against heavy fire and enemy attack. Robertshaw presents the Great War in colour, as it was experienced, using stunning images to bring the the full force of these frightening assaults to life. This truly is First World War history at its finest. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zWestern Front 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 676 $a940.4144 700 $aRobertshaw$b Andrew$0934796 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150506503321 996 $a24hr under attack$93421960 997 $aUNINA
