Walking the Somme: A Walker's Guide to the 1916 Somme Battlefields (Battleground Europe Series)

Rating:
Summary: Practical, Informative, Could Have a Better Map
Review: Recently a British friend and I (Yank) followed one of the book's walks on the Somme. The details in the book helped greatly. Beyond the basic description, all the snippets of poetry, diary entries, official history, and photos of soliders and then-and-now battle sites added greatly to the walk. The only thing we felt missing is that the many walks so well described in the book and well-mapped individually are not shown together in one area-wide map, which would help orient the first-time visitor.
