Ypres Salient and Passchendaele: Battlefield Guide by Tonie Holt (English) Paper

Description: Ypres Salient and Passchendaele: Battlefield Guide by Tonie Holt This is the most complete guide to the First World War Battlefield of Ypres that has ever been published. Here are concise descriptions of the military elements of the battles woven into a kaleidoscope of human, literary and travel information. There are recommended, timed itineraries representing one day's travelling. Every stop on the route has an accompanying description and often a tale of heroic or tragic action. Memorials large and small, private and official, sites of memorable conflict, the resting places of personalities of note—they are all here and joined together by a sympathetic and understanding commentary that gives the reader a sensitivity towards the events of 1914-1918 that can only be matched by visiting the battlefield itself. This is a guide book written by people who because they have been directly involved in taking tours themselves, know the form and type of information that best serves the visitor to the battlefield. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description groups around Ypres into this remarkable book. Notes Updated version of the military, history and travel guide. Author Biography Major and Mrs Holt founded the first organisation to offer battlefield tours to the general public in the late 1970s. Since the 1990s they have been writing their series of guide books, incorporating all that they have learned from their experiences conducting thousands of people around battlefields. This series, designed to serve as companions for travellers, whether sitting at home or physically visiting the battlefields, includes detailed travel directions, military history, fascinating anecdotes and tourist information. The Holts share the writing of their books equally and conduct all their own research, spending many weeks on the ground as they prepare each new book or update previously published titles.
