This book is a collection of essays on neglected aspects of the
Great War. It begins by asking what exactly was so "Great" about
it, before turning to individual studies of various aspects of the
war. These fall broadly into two categories. Firstly personal,
micro-narratives that deal directly with the experience of war,
often derived from contemporary interest in diaries and oral
histories. Presenting both a close-up view of the viscerality, and
the tedium and powerlessness of personal situations, these same
narratives also address the effects of the war on hitherto
under-regarded groups such as children and animals. Secondly, the
authors look at the impact of the course of the war on theatres,
often left out in reflections on the main European combatants and
therefore not part of the regular iconography of the trenches in
places such as Denmark, Canada, India, the Levant, Greece and East
Africa.
