What was life really like for the ordinary soldier, sailor,
airman, and civilian during World War I? Was it different for the
British, French, and Americans than it was for the Germans? This
work brings to life the military and civilian experiences of
ordinary people on both sides of the war. Rich with information not
available elsewhere, this engagingly written narrative focuses on
the real details of living in wartime: how men were recruited and
trained, the equipment they used, what they ate, trench warfare as
a way of life, and the phenomenon of combat.
The life of seamen and the novel experience of the first airmen
provide contrast to the life of the soldier in the trenches. Also
described are the medical system for treating casualties, the life
of a prisoner of war, and the experience of military nurses and the
first women in uniform. This book also details how life on the home
front changed in myriad ways, including the education of
schoolchildren, the fevered prosperity of a wartime economy, and
the change in women's traditional roles from homemaker to essential
laborer.
