Description
The brutality of living conditions for soldiers in the First World War is depicted here, in a style that is remarkably beautiful, with its sober text and images, its accurate words and sensitive outlook. For the survivors of the front, the ‘real’ war has nothing in common with the overused imagery used to illustrate glorious patriotism. No one can close this book without thinking of the appalling slaughter that was ‘the war to end all wars’.
