The focus lies particularly on military strategies, notable battles, and the interplay of forces from various nations involved in the war. The opening of the book sets the stage for the grim nature of trench warfare experienced during the war, beginning with the Battle of Neuve Chapelle. It describes the buildup of British forces, the preliminary artillery bombardments, and the chaos unleashed during the attack.
