John Buchan was one of the only historians documenting the course of the First World War as it happened. Here are both of his books on the Somme offensive, one of the most destructive and bloody battles of the first great war. Buchan was an intelligence officer and diplomat so was in a rare position to have an almost complete overview of the attacks as they happened. Including a biography of the author.
