Loos 1915: The Unwanted 'Book'
I have a deep interest in Loos as my Great Grandfather fought there, therefore I try to gather and read as much as I can on this subject. However, on opening this book, I discovered that the photos used had little or nothing to do with the battle, the maps were poor and the text was littered with inaccuracies. Overall, not a very good take on the Battle of Loos.
This book bares no comparrision to that of 'Most Unfavourable Ground' which in my view is easily the best book on the subject.
