{"product_id":"9781473867192","title":"Britain and a Widening War, 1915-1916: From Gallipoli to the Somme","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn a series of concise, thought-provoking chapters the authors summarize – and make accessible – the latest scholarship on the middle years of the Great War – 1915 and 1916 – and cover fundamental issues that are rarely explored outside the specialist journals. Their work is an important contribution to advancing understanding of Britain’s role in the war, and it will be essential reading for anyone who is keen to keep up with the fresh research and original interpretation that is transforming our insight into the impact of the global conflict.\u003cbr\u003e    The principal battles and campaigns are reconsidered from a new perspective, but so are more general topics such as military leadership, the discord between Britain’s politicians and generals, conscientious objection and the part played by the Indian Army. The longer-term effects of the war are also considered – facial reconstruction, developments in communication, female support for men on active service, grief and bereavement, the challenge to religious belief, battlefield art, and the surviving vestiges of the war. \u003cbr\u003e    Peter Liddle and his fellow contributors have compiled a volume that will come to be seen as a landmark in the field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Bamji\u003cbr\u003eClive Barrett\u003cbr\u003eNick Bosanquet\u003cbr\u003eJames Cooke\u003cbr\u003eEmily Glass\u003cbr\u003eGraeme Gooday\u003cbr\u003eAdrian Gregory\u003cbr\u003eAndrea Hetherington\u003cbr\u003eRobert Johnson\u003cbr\u003eSpencer Jones\u003cbr\u003ePeter Liddle\u003cbr\u003eJuliet Macdonald\u003cbr\u003eJessica Meyer\u003cbr\u003eDavid Millichope\u003cbr\u003eNS Nash\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Philpott\u003cbr\u003eJames Pugh\u003cbr\u003eDuncan Redford\u003cbr\u003eNicholas Saunders\u003cbr\u003eGary Sheffield\u003cbr\u003eJack Sheldon\u003cbr\u003eJohn Spencer\u003cbr\u003eKapil Subramanian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173491917040,"sku":"9781473867192","price":26.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473867192_p0.jpg?v=1769893217","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473867192","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
