‘Welsh author Terry Breverton, who has published extensively on Welsh history and culture and presented documentaries on the Discovery Channel and the History Channel, turns his attention to the First World War in his latest book. He tackles such questions as: what was a ‘trench rabbit’? What was known as a ‘suicide ditch’? And why did the Kaiser ban the production of sausages?’ Breverton ‘aims to be informative' but also wants to reflect the humour and good nature of front-line soldiers that alleviated the underlying sadness and terror of World War One. He said, ‘Only with a sense of “gallows humour” could they exist with any sense of sanity in the conditions they faced.’ 'Featuring the greatest battles, war slang, casualties, heroes and heorines, this terrific cornucopia or people and events is an entertaining but informative addition to our understanding of "the War to end all Wars".'
