Between 1914 and 1917 as many as 16 million soldiers and 2 million civilians were killed, wounded or maimed in battles across the 100km long Eastern Front. Churchill once called it the “unknown war”. After his definitive history of the Western Front and Sunday Times bestseller Passchendaele, Nick – Professor of Modern Warfare at King’s College – paints a vivid and authoritative picture of the conflict in Eastern Europe and the Balkans through intimate eyewitness reports in The Eastern Front.
