Passchendaele A New History

Nick Lloyd Press Reviews

'I thought it both precise and compassionate - a properly definitive history, with clear sightlines from the strategic planning, to the horror of the battle itself from both sides, through to its consequences for the war as it entered its complex final phase' -- Dr Emily Mayhew

'A fresh and thorough examination of the events of July to November 1917 is definitely needed. Dr Nick Lloyd has achieved this in his book Passchendaele: A New History, an account that is both scholarly and gripping.' -- Glyn Harper, Professor of War Studies, Massey University

'With clean, clear and often eviscerating writing, Nick Lloyd compels us to re-evaluate Passchendaele and all that word conjures' -- Paul Gross, director and star of the film 'Passchendaele

'A timely re-appraisal ... a masterpiece' -- General Lord Richard Dannatt

'Very well-researched and well-written. Reminds us just how important this crushing endgame was' -- Andrew Roberts (on 'Hundred Days')
