The first 46 pages of this book give an account of the fighting in the Ypres salient throughout the war, beginning with the First battle of Ypres in which the regulars and reservists of the BEF withstood every effort made by the Germans to take Ypres. The battles are described in fair detail, highlighting the French part in the fighting, and there are good, clear maps to support the narrative. The next fifty pages are devoted to a two-day visit to the battlefield with Lille as the starting point, describing what is to be seen en route, again with good supporting maps. In outline the itinerary takes the visitor along the route Lille - Armentieres - Messines - Poelcapelle - Ypres - Poperinghe on the first day. The next day carries on from Poperinghe - Les Monts - Bailleul - Bethune and back to Lille. Finally there is another tour in an area having nothing to do with Ypres, that is a visit to the Arras battlefield, from Arras - Lens - Douai and back to Arras. This is an interesting account of the battlefields, written so soon after the events they describe.

The book opens with an interesting, brief history of the cathedral city where French kings were traditionally crowned before leading into the Great War. The Germans occupied Rheims for a short time in September 1914 but were forced to withdraw. Thereafter they subjected the town to frequent bombardments throughout the war, inflicting enormous damage on the place; the famous cathedral was badly knocked about. The fighting for the town in 1914 is described as is, briefly, the disastrous French Nivelle offensive of April 1917, the German last fling in July 1918 and the final operations of September-November 1918, all with explanatory maps.There are two itineraries of the town with accompanying street plans, and four tours of the battlefield. The photos are, as usual, of great interest, showing Rheims before and during the war.

This guide describes the operations which took place in Picardy in 1918. The first thirty odd pages are devoted to the German offensive of March/April: German strategy and tactics, comparison of opposing forces and the results achieved. Then follows an account of the Franco-British offensive that opened on 8 August, the offensive that marked the beginning of the end for Germany. The narrative here takes the story up to the end of September and the Allied attacks on the outposts of the Hindenburg Line. The battlefield tour heads southeast from Amiens, down into the French sector to Compiegne, taking in Montdidier and other towns and villages that were fought over. There are plenty of maps throughout, explaining the various actions, and a good lot of photos depicting pre-war and wartime scenes.

This book leads the modern traveller along seven medieval pilgrim routes of Britain (those with historic origins, rather than modern constructs), taking in world-famous sites such as Canterbury and Lindisfarne in addition to out-of-the-way locations along paths not so widely travelled. Each route guides pilgrims on a journey of discovery. Illustrated throughout with photographs and colour maps, and written by a renowned expert on pilgrimage, Pilgrim Routes of the British Isles provides clear maps and informative commentary on the history of the most significant landscapes, shrines, art and architecture. Although it offers some fresh walking ideas, primary consideration is given to understanding the history, significance and practices surrounding the pilgrim routes and sites of Britain, helping you to follow in the footsteps of our forebears and gain invaluable insights into their medieval world. It will be of great interest to walkers and historians alike. Illustrated with 80 colour photos and 12 maps.

Religion and religious nationalism have long played a central role in many ethnic and national conflicts, and the importance of religion to national identity means that territorial disputes can often focus on the contestation of holy places and sacred territory. Looking at the case of Israel and Palestine, this book highlights the nexus between religion and politics through the process of classifying holy places, giving them meaning and interpreting their standing in religious and civil law, within governmental policy, and within international and local communities. Written by a team of renowned scholars from within and outside the region, this book follows on from Holy Places in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Confrontation and Co-existence to provide an insightful look into the politics of religion and space. Examining Jerusalem’s holy basin from a variety of perspectives and disciplines, it provides unique insights into the way Jewish, Christian and Muslim authorities, scholars and jurists regard sacred space and the processes, grass roots and official, by which spaces become holy in the eyes of particular communities. Filling an important gap in the literature on Middle East peacemaking, the book will be of interest to scholars and students of the Middle East conflict, conflict resolution, political science, urban studies and history of religion.

One of the famous series of Michelin guides to the Great War battlefields. This book is primarily concerned with the French offensives of May and September 1915 in which they suffered appalling casualties. It takes you through such places as Notre Dame de Lorette (now the French National Memorial), Carency, Souchez, Ablain St Nazaire, Vimy and, of course, Arras itself. The British part in the overall plan (Joffre s) was at Aubers Ridge in May and Loos in September; both are outside the scope of this book. The British Arras offensive of April/May 1917 is briefly described. There are numerous, splendid photos of the battlefields before, during and just after the war. There are many familiar places, hard to recognize as they are today; nevertheless this is an evocative record and one full of interest to today s pilgrims.

This book begins with a thirteen page account of the Battle of the Marne which it advises the tourist to read before going on to the descriptive part, so that he or she has an understanding of the action as a whole; the operations described here lasted from 6 to 13 September 1914. This account is supported with maps and photos of commanders on both sides. Then follows the tourist section in which the battlefields are divided into three sub-divisions which correspond to the three main sectors of the battle: The Ourcq (with visits to Chantilly, Senlis and Meaux); the Marshes of St Gond (with visits to Coulommiers, Provins and Sezanne); and the Revigny Pass (with visits to Chalons sur Marne, Vitry le Francois and Bar le Duc). Descriptions provide something of the history of the towns and places of interest, with pre-war and wartime photos, as well as a guide to the battlefields in the area.
