"This is a serious book by a hard-working young historian on an
important subject. It contains much good material, and it is
particularly good at separating the combat experience into its
components, distinguishing between the formal offensive, ...
routine trench warfare, ... and its small events, such as patrols
and raids, of which he provides some highly original narratives. It
is excellent on the aetiology of the mutinies and often fascinating
on the forms they took. The accounts of the exchanges between
soldiers and officers ring with authenticity."
