Hi guys,
I'm currently doing my A level History coursework. My investigation is going to be based around the Battle of Somme and I will use a general question probably something like "To what extent did the Battle of the Somme represent a total failure for Britain"
Basically the idea is to present four different historian's opinions as the flesh of the argument and then substantiate or close the arguments down using primary sources or other opinions of historians. It must be academic historians not popular or unaccredited authors.
So far I have material from AJP Taylor, Liddel Hart and Jay winter.
Any recommended reading would be appreciated, as well as any other information. The task is daunting
Thanks in advance,
Ben
