Fought in 1917, the battle was another attempt to win a decisive breakthrough on the Western Front. It has shaped perceptions of the First World War on the Western Front. Fought between July and November 1917, both sides suffered heavy casualties and endured appalling conditions. The name Passchendaele has become synonymous with mud, blood and futility. McCarthy examines the tactics, equipment, and decisions and experience of the commanders. He details locations of individual battalions and divisions and also provides detailed weather reports for the battle day by day—rain and more rain.
