Synopsis

Perceptions of the First World War usually come through words written long after the conflict ended. We see the war through times broader pictures. Rarely do we see the war as it was presented to those involved. Though we can place the war within historical perspectives, most of what we find does little to aid the seeker of an approximation of the direct experience of that war. Fiction can, but only subjectively and at its own deliberate removes. Sometimes neither histories nor fictions provide satisfactory understanding to those seeking to comprehend even a small part of such monumental disasters as the First World War. Through documents, newspaper articles, and letters from a soldier, this book attempts to provide a littler of that satisfaction.
