| Description: |
Evocative contemporary imagery sourced from world famous archives, such as the Imperial War Museum. Eye-witness accounts taken from recorded interviews of those who survived the horror of the various battles from 1914-18. Max Arthur is a best-selling author of contemporary accounts of both World Wars, and a superb researcher of original material of the Great War itself. |
| Synopsis: |
Charting the BEA's entry into warfare in 1914, he tells the story in words and pictures of the new conscripted army's life through the five years of slaughter and suffering. He brilliantly conveys not only the heroism, but also the universal horror, futility, humour and boredom of warfare. From the front-line troops and the daily dice with death, to the support lines, communications, enlistment, training and propaganda. Every aspect of the soldiers life will be covered here, in this brilliant collection of images and interviews, that brings the Great War to life once more. |
