Given the author's background as a writer and historian, the text likely blends firsthand accounts, strategic analyses, and broader historical context about World War I's Western Front. At the start of this volume, the author discusses the situation leading up to 1916, touching on the challenges faced by the Allies during the previous years of the war. He highlights the period's anticipation for a renewed offensive against German forces, setting the stage for the Battle of the Somme, which would become notorious for its unprecedented scale of carnage and complexity.
