It was a war that shaped the modern world, fought on five
continents, claiming the lives of ten million people. Two great
nations met each other on the field of battle for the first time.
But were they so very different? For the first time, and drawing
widely on archive material in the form of original letters and
diaries, Peter Doyle and Robin Schafer bring together the two
sides, 'Fritz' and 'Tommy', to examine cultural and military
nuances that have until now been left untouched: their approaches
to war, their lives at the front, their greatest fears and their
hopes for the future. The soldiers on both sides went to war with
high ideals; they experienced horror and misery, but also
comradeship/Kameradschaft. And with increasing alienation from the
people at home, they drew closer together, 'the Hun' transformed
into 'good old Jerry' by the war's end. This unique collaboration
is a refreshing yet touching examination of how little truly
divided the men on either side of no-man'sland during the First
World War.
