Another excellent review of Saul David’s new book 100 Days to Victory appeared in last week’s Times Literary Supplement. John Ure described it as ‘original and effective…[David’s] account of the First Day of the Battle of the Somme is a classic example of his skill as a narrator and historian…He exceeds the reader’s expectations… and gives one of the best measured accounts of the diplomatic manoeuvrings and hesitations leading up the outbreak of war… There may be a surfeit of books about these events… Saul David’s is one that should not be overlooked.’
