https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/462315.Other_Paths_to_Glory https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/462315.Other_Paths_to_Gl... >Paul Mitchell spends his days researching WWI; his quiet life in the library can hardly be in greater contrast to the carnage he studies. Until, that is, the present catches up with him in the shape of Dr Audley of the MOD. Why does Audley want to know what really happened during the battle for Hameau Ridge on the Somme in 1916? The answer is complex and dangerous. This cold-war era spy novel brought some of the WWI archaeology/research to life for me. I was totally unfamiliar and surprised how much remains unknown about these battlefields.
