The eighth volume of Corbeyran and Le Roux's acclaimed World War I series brings readers to one of the conflict's most harrowing theaters — the Chemin des Dames in May 1917. Le Roux's cover captures a squad of French poilus pressed together in a battered trench, rifles raised and expressions taut with urgency against a sky glowing an ominous, fiery red. It's a visceral, ground-level image that sets the tone for a story set amid the brutal underground fighting at the Dragon's Cave.
