Description
The war of maneuver that was supposed to be over quickly instead turns into a lingering bloody stalemate. Trench warfare begins, and with it, all the murderous efforts on both sides to overcome the static defenses.

Man, this whole series is beyond incredible. Using generic review buzzwords like “captivating” or “enthralling” would do a disservice to describe Dan’s ability to tell a story.
Dan is like the Dr Seuss of war stories except there is no rhyming; ONLY MADNESS.
