Books, Manuscripts
As the Battle of Loos began, a British Tommy kicked a football ahead of the charge towards the German trenches. This book traces the life of the so-called Footballer of Loos. Ed Harris reveals what it was like to take part in the battle, and also revises the conventional view that Loos was a failure for the Allies.
