In this brilliant new work of history, Adam Hochschild follows a
group of characters connected by blood ties, close friendships or
personal enmities and shows how the war exposed the divisions
between them. They include the brother and sister whose views on
the war could not have been more diametrically opposed - he a
career soldier, she a committed pacifist; the politician whose job
was to send young men who refused conscription to prison, yet whose
godson was one of those young men and the suffragette sisters, one
of whom passionately supported the war and one of whom was equally
passionately opposed to it. Through these divided families,
Hochschild paints a vivid picture of Britain poised between the
optimism of the Victorian era and the era of Auschwitz and the
Gulag - a divided country, fractured by the seismic upheaval of the
Great War and its aftermath.
