The Great War One Hundred Stories, Of One Hundred Words, Honouring Those Who Lived and Died One Hundred Years Ago

The Great War: One Hundred Stories, Of One Hundred Words, Honouring Those Who Lived and Died One Hundred Years Ago.
One hundred stories, of one hundred words, honouring those who lived and died one hundred years ago.
Stories based on true accounts of life on the fighting front as well as on the home front. Rather than pointing fingers and apportioning blame for the hostilities, this book seeks to focus on times when humanity shone through, and to highlight the futility of war.
The stories themselves run the gamut of emotions; thoughts of home, thoughts of family members missing loved ones, comradeship on the front lines, the living hell of the trenches, to thoughts on God and the utter futility of their undertaking. And all recounted from the perspective of the English, French and German combatants, whom we learn have much in common...Ms. Knox has produced a powerful piece of work to starkly remind us that our history should never be forgotten.
