''24 Hours at the Somme'' is a well-researched and thoughtfully written book that vividly brings the account of the battle to life and transports the reader to the filthy trenches of the Somme where waves upon waves of terrified solders anxiously awaited the order to go 'over the top.' The stories are often harrowing, shocking and heartbreaking, but they are stories that must be told in order for readers to fully comprehend the enormity of what took place. Kershaw has given a voice to those long gone so that the present generation may not forget those atrocious events of one hundred years ago.
Bookbag also enjoyed [[The Great War by Peter Hart]], a thorough account encompassing all aspects of the Great War and how it affected the world scene and lives of ordinary people. For more about the Somme, try [[Somme: Into the Breach by Hugh Sebag-Montefiore]].
