5.0 out of 5 stars
I can't recommend this book enough,
This review is from: Beneath Flanders Fields: The Tunnellers' War 1914-18 (Hardcover)
This is how books should be produced. Clear reproductions of contemporary photo's, beautifully executed line drawings that help explain & illustrate the text and clear color modern photos of what remains on site today.
The book covers the deep tunneling 'war' in Flanders in great detail, with the other tunneling sectors - where conditions were less difficult - in less detail & in their own section. And does so from both sides, which is still uncommon in any modern military books - most being written from the point of one side or the other. I have also recommended this book to acquaintances well outside the military history field - it is an excellent book for those interested in 20th Century engineering and equally to those with an interest in archeology - I expect to see some of the techniques described in this book being used in future field excavations in anthropology.

A MUST HAVE!,
By Mike Miner (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beneath Flanders Fields: The Tunnellers' War 1914-18 (Hardcover)
I was vaguely familiar with the extent of mining in WWI due to a TV special on one of the history channels, so I decided that I would like to know more and bought this book. The team of authors with various backgrounds put 25 years worth of research into this work, and man, does it ever show. Superbly researched, extremely well written, and jammed full of crisp, rare period photographs and maps, topped off with a high quality printing. No way will you be disappointed with this book, and should you ever have the opportunity to tour the WWI battlefields, you'll never look at the ground beneath you feet the same again!

Brilliant, detailed and well laid out.,
By Pal Dinessen "Jasmine hotel Thailand" (Pattaya, Chonburi. Thailand Thailand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Beneath Flanders Fields: The Tunnellers' War 1914-18 (Hardcover)
The book was brilliant, detailed, meticulously written and the lay out was superb. I would like to endorse this book to anyone interested in the Great War especially as this specific part of it has not received the recognition that it deserves from both sides of this epic struggle. The book will interest all not only people with military back ground.
From an Avid war history reader and earlier special forces UDT EOD solder. Paal S. Dinessen.
