The Missing of the Somme - by Geoff Dyer

The Missing of the Somme is part travelogue, part meditation on remembranceand completely, unabashedly, unlike any other book about the First World War.

Through visits to battlefields and memorials, Geoff Dyer examines the way that photographs and film, poetry and prose determinedsometimes in advance of the events describedthe way we would think about and remember the war.
With his characteristic originality and insight, Dyer untangles and reconstructs the network of myth and memory that illuminates our understanding of, and relationship to, the Great War.
