About this listen
Si desea descubrir la impresionante historia de la batalla del Somme, entonces siga leyendo…
Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial se libraron muchas y muy variadas batallas, todas ellas brutales, sangrientas y devastadoras, y cada una a su propia manera. Cada batalla tuvo sus victorias y sus derrotas, sus éxitos y sus fracasos. Hubo héroes concretos en ambos bandos, también acciones heroicas de batallones enteros. Hubo hombres que lucharon hasta el final más amargo, y murieron en los embarrados campos de Francia. Sus cuerpos nunca se recuperaron, y los lugares de su descanso eterno permanecieron sin ningún tipo de señal ni recuerdo durante más de un siglo. No obstante, conforme va pasando el tiempo y esa primera Gran Guerra se va diluyendo en la memoria colectiva, muchas de esas batallas van dejando de contemplarse como acontecimientos singulares, para pasar a ser partes de un todo, puntos de la progresión lineal de una historia más completa.
En La Batalla del Somme: Una Guía Fascinante de uno de los Acontecimientos Más Devastadores de la Primera Guerra Mundial Que Tuvo Lugar en el Frente Occidental, descubrirá temas como:
- El camino al Somme
- La importancia de Verdún
- Comienza la batalla del Somme
- El Día Z
- Las batallas del Somme
- ¡Y mucho, mucho más!
¡Obtenga este libro y aprenda más acerca de la batalla del Somme!

Story
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Good
I listened to this audible because I have an interest in the history of WWI. Among the many battles during the war to end all wars, this was transcendental because of the many losses of life on both sides compared to what was accomplished.

Great Information
I see that in this audible especially toward the end of so many young soldiers dying & what they would have meant for their country. Great audible on the strategy of the battle from both sides. A very good addition to the literature of World War I.

Fascinating listen
This gives so much more information about the battle that was given in the History of WWI. This audible along with the Battle of Verdun are great companions to the WWI audible because how it expands and explains beyond. Very interesting listen.

Knowing history is important
This audible was very informative and is something that I believe could be used as good teaching material in schools. Knowing the why's for war and how far some people are willing to take destruction is a hard truth. Tanks were introduced in this war and so many people perished.

Learn from History
This audible takes a deep dive in a relatively short audible into the details of one of the longest and deadliest battles of a war whose human cost far exceeded anything that had occurred up until that time. The Battle of the Somme also provides a good description of the human cost of the war.

Interesting Audible
I liked this audible but as you will find out The Battle of The Somme, was a series of battles that lasted about a year. This audible will tell how it started and why it started when it did. This audible tells it like it was, that war is not always glorious like in a John Wayne movie, it can be bloody, smelly from the dead bodies, etc
