- Zusatztext
- Following soldiers and sailors, nurses and government workers, from Britain, Russia, Germany, Australia and South America - and in theatres of war often neglected by major histories on the period - Englund reconstructs their feelings, impressions, experiences and moods. This is a piece of anti-history: it brings this epoch-making event back to its smallest component, the individual.
- Kurztext
- Describing the experiences of twenty ordinary people from around the world, this title explores the everyday aspects of war: not only the tragedy and horror, but also the absurdity, monotony and even beauty.
