Trial by Gas: The British Army at the Second Battle of Ypres

This is a superb work on the Second Battle of Ypres. Along with John Dixon's " Magnificent But Not War" these are the seminal works on Second Ypres. Brilliant writing of the details of battle, interspersed with contemporary accounts. This concentrates a bit more on the Frezenberg and Bellewaarde Ridge battles, but it still covers Gravenstafel and St. Julien in excellent detail. A fine read and a fine compliment to Mr Dixon's book. Well worth the time and money. A fine book
