About This Item
Sydney: Vintage / Random House, 2010. Reprint ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, small mark top edge, top corner tip rear cover little worn, minor edgewear. 272 pp. On June 7 1917, 19 massive mines shattered the Messines Ridge near Ypres. This is the untold brutal story of the battle underground during the First World War, where men suffocated in the blue-grey clay, drowned in the liquid chalk, choked on the poisonous air or died violently in the darkness and fetid air in hand-to-hand fighting. The author tells the complete and inspiring story behind the major Australian motion picture.
