15 years of research went into the production of this book containing a short biography each of 487 men and women from Campden who served in the Great War. The author's family association with Chipping Campden can be traced back to the early 19th century and their sense of belonging brought about this wish for future generations to be aware of the sacrifice made by the many townspeople.

Covering the twelve months of 1916, the author uses twelve moments from several locations and shows how they reverberated around the world. As well as discussing better-known battles such as Gallipoli, Verdun and the Somme, he examines Dublin and the Easter Rising, East Africa, the Italian front, Central Asia and Russia, where the killing of Rasputin exposed the internal political weakness of the country's empire. In charting a wide range of wartime experience, he studies the 'intelligence war', naval engagements at Jutland as well as the political consequences that ensued from the momentous American presidential election.

The trench-warfare stalemate of World War I was the result of new technology and the cultural mindset of the times. The machine gun had made the battlefield unhabitable in the fifty years since the Civil War: it mowed down soldiers at an inconceivable rate. But the elaboration of defensive entrenchments early in World War I changed all that. An uneasy standoff ensued, an impasse that could not be broken, though commanders on both sides sacrificed thousands of men in the attempt. The problem was that they simply could not imagine any alternative to the frontal assault. It took a new breed of warrior, the adventurous captains and majors who championed technological innovations like tanks and airplanes, to break through the impasse
