Millions of men lived in the trenches during World War I. More than six million died there. In Eye-Deep in Hell, the author explores this unique and terrifying world-the rituals of battle, the habits of daily life, and the constant struggle of men to find meaning amid excruciating boredom and the specter of impending death.

Reviews
Describes graphically the disgusting, revolting conditions of hunger, infestation, disease, and above all, fatigue that were endured... Few will 'enjoy' this book, but the author very well records an important peak in the history of human achievement. West Coast Review of Books
