In Flanders Fields begins on New Year's Day 1917 and the violence which ensued; it looks at the ways in which men died and looks at the politics, putting a spotlight on the leaders, and how the campaign was conceived, sponsored and opposed.

Reasons for this seemingly endless onslaught are still debated today by military historians, yet in this novelisation of the infamous battle, Wolff goes some way to explain the unexplainable: how was it possible to have such slaughter on an industrial scale only one year after the Somme.
