Review of 'A foreign field' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

There are not many books I read where I feel I knew nothing about the subject before. I have read much on WW1 but its always been through the British lens. Here is a whole new exploration and a very unpleasant one at that. Delivered as a sort of detective story with multiple twists and turns.
