As the book smashes it's way to its unforgettable ending Cecil's deeds begin to elevate him toward the status of myth and legend. <i>The Last Trench Fighters' </i>story may just change your view of the men and women of 1914-1918 and their ghastly struggles for survival in The Great War. Dare to explore the incredible world of this old-fashioned hero.
