The Great War was a ferment of new ideas and weapons, from gas and flame throwers to super-heavy artillery, concrete bunkers, tanks, and aircraft. Meanwhile, older methods, such as machine guns and armor, were deployed in innovative ways. All these developments were documented in contemporary publications and manuals. This compendium of extracts and illustrations covers the trench experience, giving not only a popular nostalgic view of the “war to end wars,” but a rounded picture of how it was.
Dr. Stephen Bull is the Curator of the Museum of Lancashire in Preston. He has written two major volumes on arms and armor and best-selling volumes on trench warfare and World War II infantry tactics.
