Trench warfare details: Not for the faint-hearted or weak-of-stomach. I read it to learn about the Tommy and the Gerry (not so interested in the Yank). I was a bit disappointed that the end of Herr Hub's life was the end of the German side of the unknown soldier story, when there was a large amount of information included about subsequent commemoration efforts on the parts of the British and the Americans. But the book was still very informative. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The First World War was a conflict of unprecedented ferocity that unleashed such demons as mechanized warfare and mass death on the twentieth century. After the last shot was fired and the troops marched home, approximately three million soldiers remained unaccounted for. Some bodies were found, but they bore no trace of identification; many more had simply vanished in battlefields where as many as a hundred shells had fallen on every square yard. Author Hanson animates and brings to life the combatants who perished without a trace by focusing on three soldiers--an American, an Englishman, and a German--and narrating their war experiences through their diaries and letters. He describes how each man endured the nearly unbearable conditions in the trenches and in the air and relates what is known about their deaths.--From publisher description.
