A generation raised on the British Empire confronted the unexpected
horrors of modern war. Never were a nation's expectations so
different from the coming clash of the First World War. Expecting a
vigorous romp to victory, soldiers endured a brutal quagmire.
Presenting letters & diaries of soldiers themselves, many
unseen for nearly a hundred years, Smith allows men from Field
Marshall "Douggy" Haig to plain Private Smith to have a clear
voice. With enough narrative to recall how the Great War unfolded,
a wealth of vivid detail brings the miserable life in the trenches
back to life. What began with high hopes and horses ended with
disillusion and tanks. From the build up at the beginning of the
war until the immediate post-war reduction, Letters from the Front:
Letters and Diaries from the BEF in Flanders and France 1914-1918
is enlivened with fascinating details and makes a moving,
entertaining and informative read.
