Written by Linda Granfield. Originally published in hardcover in 2001. Softcover published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd., 2005. Description: |
| When World War I began in 1914, no one knew that millions of
young people would die in the agonizing years ahead. No one imagined the effect
it would have on family life, or that whole villages would disappear, or that
entire nations would be changed forever. They believed their sons and
daughters, mothers and fathers would be home by Christmas. They were tragically
mistaken. With photos, memorabilia, and anecdotes, Linda Granfield brings us face-to-face with people from all walks of life who risked everything for their country. These painstakingly-gathered bits and pieces are remnants of conflict on a scale never before witnessed. Hastily-penned letters, notes written in code, and prayers for deliverance form an eloquent portrait of humanity, and a startling comment on the devastation of war. |
