The shock and slaugter of the battlefields of the Somme, Verdun and Passchendale is well documented. However, during the smaller battles soldiers could, and often did, make personal decisions. From these evolved a culture of live and let live, which constrained that of kill and be killed.

This review is from: Trench Warfare 1914-18: The Live And Let Live System (Pan Grand Strategy) (Paperback)
Ashworth's book is notable in the fact that he has done his homework and the book is rich in detail and flavor of the horrid conditions of trench warfare.He compiles plenty of information regarding the 'live and let live' system between the warring factions. There are some humorous stories blended in with grim stories of trench raids gone bad. The daily life of the infantry is detailed and his writing style is brisk in some areas and very detailed in others. Anyone interested in the actions in the trenches should enjoy this one.

This review is from: Trench Warfare 1914-18: The Live And Let Live System (Pan Grand Strategy) (Paperback)
Trench Warfare, 1914-1918: The Live and Let Live System, provides an excellent historical point of view from the base combatants of the first world war along the western front. It is a superb book if one is studying the history of the First World War, Military History, or to a lesser extent World History. However, the book does fail to give it's readers any knowledge or in depth understanding of how the eastern front and the war in the middle east occurred either with or without a live and let live system. Still, one can receive first hand accounts of the lives of trench fighters during the every day to day routines they experienced while not actively engaged in major battles of the First World War. As such, the book would serve best as an accompaniment to a larger historical work on the general history of the Great War. Happy reading to all those who choose to delve into Trench Warfare, 1914-1918: The Live and Let Live System
