Description: New book, 381 pages. Departing from the traditional histories, this book tells the story of the First World War entirely through the diaries and letter os its combatants, eyewitnesses and victims. Powerful individual stories are interwoven to form an extraordinary narrative that follows the chronology of the war, in words written on the battlefield and on leave, under occupation and under siege, from the Western Front to East Africa; and from the North Sea to the southern Balkans.
