'PASSCHENDAELE IN PERSPECTIVE. THE THIRD BATTLE OF YPRES' edited by Peter H Liddle. Published 1997 by Pen & Sword Books Ltd, Barnsley. Soft Covers. Measures: 6.25 by 9.25 inches. 544 pages. Fully illustrated with black & white photos & maps. 'Passchendaele In Perspective' explores the context and real nature of the participants' experience. It evaluates British and German High Command, the aerial and maritime dimensions of the battle, the politicians and manpower debates on the home front and it looks at the tactics employed, the weapons and equipment used, the experience of the British, German and indeed French soldiers. It looks thoroughly into the Commonwealth soldiers' contribution and makes an unparalleled attempt to examine together in one volume 'specialist' facets of the battle, the weather, field survey and cartography, discipline and morale, and the cultural and social legacy of the battle, in art, literature and commemoration. Each one of its thirty chapters presents a thought-provoking angle on the subject. They add up to an unique analysis of the battle from Commonwealth, American, German, French, Belgian and United Kingdom historians. The contents & glossy card covers are in fine condition.
