- Summary:
- "By 1915, the Western Front was a 450-mile line of trenches, barbed wire and concrete bunkers, stretching across Europe. Attempts to break the stalemate were murderous and futile. Press censorship was extreme. The authors' explorations of the places Wharton and Rinehart visited serves as a travel guide to the Western Front"--Provided by publisher.
