In this new evaluation timed to mark the centenary of the Great War (1914-18), Colin Campbell assesses the reputation of the elite 51st Division, which alleged that German soldiers feared it more that any other British or Empire division. Engine of Destruction has been researched from battalion and brigade official war diaries and from regimental and battalion histories and blends them with first hand accounts and letters, many of which have never been published before. Colin Campbell s detailed and touching account of the war experience of the 51st Division is an amazing book in tribute to the Scottish soldier. Illustrated with original material and maps.

"So great was the reputation of Scottish combat troops in the trench warfare of World War I that an unnamed commentator told Haldane, author of the History of the 4th Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders that 'the two most terrible engines of destruction ever made by man were the 51st and 15th Divisions, both Scottish.' In this new evaluation timed to mark the centenary of the Great War (1914-18), Colin Campbell allows the experience of the elite 51st Division to speak for itself. He has researched battalion and brigade official war diaries and regimental and battalion histories and blends them with first-hand accounts and letters, many of which have never been published before. It is said that German soldiers feared the 51st (Highland) Division more that any other British or Empire division. Both detailed and touching, Engine of Destruction is an amazing book in tribute to the Scottish soldier." Light wear to top edge of the dust jacket. Book and unclipped jacket are both otherwise in excellent condition with no inscriptions. Codice articolo MilScot144a
