Practically a trench-by-trench photo-essay of the British sector of the Western Front. The panoramas are unseen because anybody who tried to see them in real life would have got his head blown off within seconds; they were taken with extreme care and stealth, and give a picture of the Front with all its millions of men entirely out of view. What it does do very well is show how narrow the Front was, a few hundred yards at most - what an airman described in another book as a long brown rattlesnake stretching between the coast and Switzerland.
As a close analysis of the trench system it's unbeatably good IMO. You get a real impression of how the trenches varied over different geology and topography, and also through time as the tide of war ebbed and flowed. The periscope's-eye view is quite mesmerising.
