A Storm in Flanders:

The Ypres Salient, 1914-1918: Tragedy and Triumph on the Western Front
Front Cover
25 Reviews
Grove/Atlantic, Incorporated, Dec 1, 2007 - History - 288 pages
A Storm in Flanders is novelist and prizewinning historian Winston Groom's gripping history of the four-year battle for Ypres in Belgian Flanders, the pivotal engagement of World War I that would forever change the way the world fought -- and thought about -- war. This is Groom's account of what would become the most dreaded place on earth. In 1914, Germany launched an invasion of France through neutral Belgium -- and brought the wrath of the world upon itself. Ypres became a place of horror, heroism, and terrifying new tactics and technologies: poison gas, tanks, mines, air strikes, and the unspeakable misery of trench warfare. Drawing on the journals of the men and women who were there, Winston Groom has penned a breathtaking drama of politics, strategy, and the human heart. 16 pages of black-and-white historical photographs are featured.

User Review  - Ben - Goodreads

This was a solid, quick read. I think it covered Ypres (Ee-pra) very well. It probably lost a star right at the end when he talked about how Belgiums were going to rebuild Ypres. "During the first ... Read full review
