Major & Mrs Holt's Battlefield Guide To The Western Front-south
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Softback updated version (2011). Book is signed by both authors (rare) and is in very good condition. Spine is sound and all pages are tightly bound. There is a minor crease to bottom right-hand corner of front cover. There are no visible markings or other defects. Produced by two of the pre-eminent Battlefield Guides in Western Europe, Major and Mrs Holt's Concise, Illustrated Battlefield Guide to the Western Front-South contains many fascinating but little-visited areas by travellers and is hoped that they will be tempted further afield than the 'showcase' and sophisticatedly presented battlefields like the Somme to discover some marvellous sites. Many of them have lain virtually 'dormant' for many years (such as areas of the Meuse-Argonne and Champagne), but have recently been renovated and opened up by dedicated local enthusiasts. Each battlefield starts with some pertinent quotations by participants, has a succinct Summary of the Battle, Opening Moves and What Happened sections then a Battlefield Tour which follows the same tried and tested formula as the rest of the series of a timed and measured itinerary with historic and anecdotal information at each stop. A detailed Sketch Map showing battle lines and each stop on the route accompanies every battle using the same colour code (yellow for memorials, purple for cemeteries, blue for museums) as the larger Holts' Battle Maps. Included with the book is a clean copy of "Major and Mrs Holt's Battle Map of the Ypres Salient and Passchendaele" (Ninth Edition). One of the most invaluable maps for anyone visiting the battlefields of Flanders. Please note that stock image is of Eight Edition.
