This book discusses in detail the experience of German warfare in the first World War, focusing specifically on the battle of the Somme.

The Somme, together with other regions of northern France, had also lain under German domination. Its inhabitants had been rigourously suppressed and their possessions carted off as booty. Finally, during their 1917 withdrawal, the Germans had subjected the whole region to Operation Alberich, a retreat involving unparalleled brutality which left the population in occupation of a wilderness wrought by war (the "scorched earth policy"). A well-known, and well-researched account, the authors have combined their research skills to produce a book which includes private testimonies. Amongst these are many unknown or previously unpublished letters and diaries as well as numerous photographs.
