August 1914. The world goes to war. Franck is proud to sign up, along with his friend Mario. They’ll be back for Christmas, that’s for sure! Let’s get on with the adventure. After training in England, it’s the battlefields of northern France, the trenches, the offensive: in a word, hell!
French version only.
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’.
