The heroic year in soldiers' own words and photographs.

The Road to Passchendaele is the next volume in the highly-regarded series of books from the best-selling First World War historian Richard van Emden. Once again, using the winning formula of diaries and memoirs and original photographs taken on illegally-held cameras by the soldiers themselves, the author tells the story of 1917 - of life both in and out of the line culminating in perhaps the most dreaded battle of them all, the Battle of Passchendaele.
