Why did millions of men agree to fight the most horrific war in
history? And go on doing it, in many cases, for years? The question
of consent is one of the many issues of the Great War that still
haunt us today.
The soldiers of 1914-1918 created a large body of newspapers and
magazines by, for and about themselves. Often misleadingly called
'trench journals', these rich archival sources have received
surprisingly little sustained scholarly attention. Through the
first comprehensive investigation and analysis of the English
language trench periodicals of the war - British, Canadian,
Australia, New Zealand and American - The Soldiers' Press presents
a cultural interpretation of the means and methods through which
consent was negotiated between the trenches and the home front.
The few existing book-length studies tend to use trench newspapers
as sources of information to answer historical questions. The
Soldiers' Press treats soldier journalism on its own terms and
provides a new answer to one lasting conundrum of World War I.
