Reviews

Silent Landscapes is a fitting tribute to the men and women who fought on the Western Front, while simultaneously offering the battlefield visitor a visually stunning accompaniment.

This is not so much a tribute but a monument to those who fought and died.
*Gun Mart*

“ Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys seeing images of the battlefields and those who wish to improve their own photographs.”
*WW1 Revisited*

This is a very high-quality production, well up to Helion’s standards and worth a place on the bookshelf. You can also pay considerably more for such a book.
*Muster, National Army Museum*

We need these books to keep the memories alive of those who fought and died in a war that achieved so little other than wasted lives.

Happily, I can take a decent picture, but I still seek inspiration and every so often something comes along to blow my socks off. This wonderful book by Simon Doughty and James Kerr is just such a moment.
