1.0 out of 5 stars
Raw Data, January 30, 2005
This review is from: Passchendaele and the Battles of Ypres 1914-18 (Battles and Histories) (Hardcover)
Essentially a regurgitation of offical sources and regimental histories with some slick graphics. Poorly written, choppy and in places incoherent. Do not waste your money.

Not what I exspected, July 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Passchendaele and the Battles of Ypres 1914-18 (Battles and Histories) (Hardcover)
Not really the best book about WW1 in Flanders. Sometimes boring. Too much information about locations (too specific for a non-flemish) and regiments and batallions. The author should have focused more on tactical warfare and possible different strategies and their implications. This is just a too detailed chronological report of the facts, nothing more. The few comments he published from soldiers that survived the battles are too short and do not fit in the structure of his book. The author should have worked out this book much better. I was disappointed!
