About This Book

An eyewitness account of life on the Western Front alternates between harrowing reports of invasion-era atrocities and compassionate sketches of daily courage and endurance. The authors describe front-line ambulance work, encounters with burned villages and spies, and the grim machinery of a modern war, then shift to portraits of youthful sailors and soldiers, women under fire, and civilian revival. Photographs and vignettes, including songs and personal impressions, emphasize both suffering and communal solidarity, and proceeds from the work are pledged to aid maimed veterans.
