Non-Fiction History
A Storm in Flanders is novelist and prizewinning historian
Winston Groom's gripping history of the four-year battle for
Ypres in Belgian Flanders, the pivotal engagement of World
War I that would forever change the way the world
fought--and thought about--war. Groom's account of what
would become the most dreaded place on earth is "a moving
and oddly inspiring chronicle.... A brilliantly written work that is a vital addition to
twentieth-century history collections" (Jay Freeman,
Booklist). In 1914, Germany launched an invasion of France
through neutral Belgium--and brought the wrath of the world
upon itself. Ypres became a place of horror, heroism, and
terrifying new tactics and technologies: poison gas, tanks,
mines, air strikes, and the unspeakable misery of trench
warfare. Drawing on the breathtaking drama of politics, strategy, and
human heart that, according to the Ft. Worth Morning
Star-Telegram, "ought to compete for every writing prize in
2002....[It] is everything nonfiction should be."
