8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall 0140259007 Paperback Lyn Macdonald's magnificent books on the First World War-the fruit of twenty years' research-have established her as the War's leading chronicler. Her particular skill is in presenting the human face of what Wilfred Owen described as 'carnage incomparable and human squander'. To the soldiers who fought it and the officers who commanded them, the War was not seen like that in 1915. Although the first wild wave of enthusiasm that had sent men flocking to join up a few months earlier had tailed off by Christmas 1914, although the Regulars of the original Expeditionary Force had suffered 90 per cent casualties and the remnant of the British Army had gone to ground, most still believed that 1915 would see the breaking of the deadlock-particularly the soldiers themselves. Their hopes were shattered on the bloody battlefields at Neuve Chapelle, at Ypres, at Loos and far away on the shores of Gallipoli. Disillusionment set in, grim resolve replaced easy optimism, and innocence died in the trenches that ran through the Flanders swamps. The story of 1915 is stark, brutal, frank, sometimes painfully funny, always human. Above all it is told from the viewpoint of the men themselves. Few other writers have collected so many first-hand accounts of the experiences of ordinary soldiers, through diaries, letters and interviews with survivors, and it is the dogged heroism and sardonic humour of the soldiers which shine through the pages of Lyn Macdonald's epic narrative. This book is a unique blend of compelling military history and poignant memories that is unlikely to be equalled. Illustrated. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc. )
