The Battle of The Somme: How its Deadly Impact Went Far Beyond The Battlefield | History Undone

James Hanson is joined once again by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Alexander Watson to discuss one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the First World War: the Somme. The first day is infamous for being the deadliest day in British Army history, but after months the allies did achieve a semi-strategic victory of sorts. The costs were heavy however, and can the battle really be considered a turning point? Perhaps not, but its impact stretches far beyond the battlefield. This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast.
