{"product_id":"the-somme-times-books-9780008209759","title":"The Somme: From The Times History of the First World War","description":"The Battle of the Somme, as described by the \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e, is republished in this highly illustrated volume. Photographs, maps, and accounts are shown along with a comprehensive history of the battle. When war was declared in August, 1914, the \u003ci\u003eTimes \u003c\/i\u003eunder its chief editor, Wickham Steed, embarked on an extraordinary project. As well as authoritative daily war reports in the paper itself, a separate weekly supplement would be produced, with 40 extra, illustrated pages of in-depth analysis. The result was \u003ci\u003eThe Times History of the War\u003c\/i\u003e, collected into 22 massive volumes in 1921: 11,000 pages; 6 million words; thousands of photographs, graphics, illustrations, and maps. The pages detailing the Battle of the Somme have been extracted from those volumes to produce a detailed history of the bloody battle as told 100 years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Times Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0008209758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780008209759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Times Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Times Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587602657535,"sku":"9780008209759","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb8d17f9-56d2-4d47-9874-c1d0531c1fe9.jpg?v=1780169207","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-somme-times-books-9780008209759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
