Summary: "The Somme, Volume 1. The First Battle of the Somme (1916-1917)" is a historical account published by Michelin, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume delves into the pivotal events of the First Battle of the Somme, exploring the military strategies, tactics, and immense preparations undertaken by the Allied forces. The book provides an in-depth examination of the offensive, aiming to regain initiative and relieve pressure on Verdun, while highlighting the costly challenges faced by both sides. At the start of the book, the author offers an overview of the circumstances leading to the Franco-British offensive in June 1916, when the Allies sought to regain momentum amidst pressing attacks from German forces. The initial plans and objectives of the offensive are detailed, alongside an exploration of the terrain and fortifications that characterized the battlefield. The narrative emphasizes the methodical and strategic preparations made to ensure a successful assault, including the role of artillery, infantry, and aerial reconnaissance, thereby setting the stage for the complex and attritional warfare that would follow.
