A Storm in Flanders

The Ypres Salient, 1914–1918: Tragedy and Triumph on the Western Front

Winston Groom,

About this book

From the Pulitzer Prize–nominated author of Forrest Gump: "A fascinating, evenhanded, page-turning account" of Ypres's pivotal WWI battles ( San Francisco Chronicle ). The Ypres Salient in Belgian Flanders was the most notorious and dreaded territory in all of World War I—possibly of any war in history. After Germany's failed attempt to capture Britain's critical ports along the English Channel, a bloody stalemate ensued in this pastoral area no larger than the island of Manhattan. 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 drama of politics, strategy, the human heart, and the struggle for victory against all odds. This ebook features 16 pages of black-and-white historical photographs. "Everything nonfiction should be." — Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Groom reconstructs a forgotten military passage that serves as a cautionary tale about war's consequences." — Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "Groom's account, full of detail and the smell of gunsmoke, is expertly paced and free of dull stretches." — Kirkus Reviews "Moving...Inspiring...An important and brilliantly written book." — Booklist
