Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize for non-fiction. The
extraordinary and forgotten story of the building of the World War
One cemeteries, due to the efforts of one remarkable man, Fabian
Ware. In the wake of the First World War, Britain and her Empire
faced the enormous question of how to bury the dead.
Critically-acclaimed author David Crane describes how the horror of
the slaughter motivated an ambulance commander named Fabian Ware to
establish the Commonwealth war cemeteries. Behind these famous
monuments - the Cenotaph, Tyne Cot, Menin Gate, Etaples amongst
them - lies a deeply moving story; 'Empires of the Dead' chronicles
a generation coming to terms with grief on a colossal scale.
