Summary: "A deeply intimate and inspiring memoir about walking the 1,000 kilometre route of World War I's Western Front, by a leading historian. In August 2021, Anthony Seldon set out on a gruelling 35-day pilgrimage from the Swiss border to the English Channel, following the historic route of the Western Front. From sumptuous towns in the east of France to the haunting trenches of the Somme and Ypres, the walk took in many important sites from World War I as well as some of Europe's most beautiful scenery. The Path of Peace is the extraordinary story of Anthony's epic walk, combining memoir, nature writing and travel, and touching on grief, loss and the legacy of war in a profoundly moving act of remembrance"-- Publisher's description.
