Description

pp. 625, contains two black and white photo sections. Book in as new condition, dustjacket same. “The story of 1915 is stark, brutal, frank, sometimes painfully funny, always human. Above all, it is history from the ground up, told from the point of view of the men themselves. Never before has any writer collected so many firsthand accounts ofthe experiences of ordinary soldiers, through diaries, letters, and interviews with survivors – and it is the dogged heroism and sardonic humor of the soldiers that shine through the pages of Lyn Macdonald’s epic narrative. ‘1915 : The Death of Innocence’ is a uniquely compelling blend of military history and poignant memories of the fighters who survived the ordeal.”
