Gripping, tragic and heroic.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Although I read this book several years ago, it had a lasting effect on my thoughts of war. Kavin Major's writing brings the characters to life in your mind, showing you the fear, the heroism, and the humanity that lie in war. As a Newfoundlander, I had learned about the battle of Beaumont Hamel and the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, but this book painted a vivid picture of the battle in my mind. On July 1st, 1916, 801 men went "over the top" in Beaumont Hamel. Only 68 answered the roll call the next day. Those men deserved to be remembered, and this book is a wonderful tribute to those brave soldiers.
