Описание:

Shortly after images of the famous Christmas Truce of 1914 found their way into national newspapers in Britain, the military authorities banned the private use of cameras on the Western Front. A considerable number of soldiers continued to use them illicitly to record life and death in the frontline trenches. Thousands of those photos survive today, most never published before--"Tommy's War" is a deeply personal and incredibly revealing portrait of the war through the lenses and words of the soldiers who lived it.

Not a traditional history of World War I--not simply the army's history of battles won and lost--"Tommy's War" is first and foremost the soldier's story. Renowned WWI historian Richard van Emden reveals the life of the everyday soldier, using personal photos, diaries, letters home, and observations of the ordinary man and the minutiae of life in the trenches. In vivid and intimate detail, van Emden brings the history of WWI alive.

Including over 250 personal and unpublished photographs, this large-format book gives a new perspective on the war that was not captured by the official photographers who traversed the Western Front. Combined with extracts from personal diaries and letters written by soldiers and civilians in Britain through each year of the war until Armistice Day in 1918, "Tommy's War" is a stunning portrayal of humanity, at its best and at its worst.

Needing an outlet for their affection, many found it in the animal kingdom. This title looks at the war through the eyes of the soldiers who were there.

Описание: A British soldier walked over to the German front line to deliver newspapers; British women married to Germans became "enemy aliens" in their own country; a high-ranking British POW discussed his own troops' heroism with the kaiser on the battlefield. These are just three amazing stories of interaction between the opposing sides in the Great War that eminent historian Richard van Emden has unearthed--incidents that show brutality, great humanity, and, above all, the bizarre nature of a conflict between two nations with long-standing ties of kinship and friendship. "Meeting the Enemy" reveals for the first time how contact was maintained on many levels throughout the war, and its stories--sometimes funny, often moving--give us a new perspective on the lives of ordinary men and women caught up in extraordinary events.
