With the New Army on the Somme: My Second Year of the War

About this film

LibriVox recording of With the New Army on the Somme: My Second Year of the War by Frederick Palmer. Read in English by Ted Lienhart. Frederick Palmer was already an experienced war correspondent when World War I began in 1914, as he had previously covered six wars, beginning with the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. "With the New Army on the Somme" was his second book about World War I. The story shifts between his first-person accounts from the trenches and Brigade Headquarters to narrations of distant campaigns, the role of the air war, strategic thinking by the Generals, and the coordination of the allies. A lively and intelligent journalistic account that is also a valuable history. - Summary by Ted Lienhart For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
