The First World War was a human catastrophe but it also saw a dynamic development of new weapons and a new kind of war; between the lions and the donkeys came the managers
and the workers - who transformed a nation into a war machine in forty-eight months. Our Land at War takes you on a journey to the key places that witnessed this war effort and those at all levels of society who brought about the change. The war created a new world of vast hutted camps and a new kind of transport system that even involved a lighted barrage across the Channel. From Aldershot
the home of the British Army - to the War Office in Whitehall, from Scapa Flow to Yarmouth, this is Britain’s war mapped for the first time. Nick Bosanquet uncovers where this national revolution took place, exploring Britain’s Great War heritage and helping you to locate the hidden history of war at the end of your street.
