Fields of Victory

In this vivid series of letters, a determined correspondent returns to the Western Front just weeks after the armistice, seeking to untangle the tangled narratives of the Great War’s last year. Drawing on visits to headquarters, conversations with senior officers, and her own observations from earlier trips in 1916 and 1917, she pieces together a broad‑scale view of how the British Empire’s armies and Dominion forces shaped the final campaigns.

Through clear, candid prose she balances official dispatches with personal insight, aiming to clarify the often‑misunderstood role of Britain amid the larger Allied effort. Listeners will hear a thoughtful, contemporary assessment that bridges the immediacy of wartime reporting with reflective post‑war analysis, offering a concise yet rich portrait of the closing chapters of a conflict that still haunts the world.
