The Myriad Faces of War: Britain and the Great War, 1914-1918, by Trevor Wilson (read 23 Apr 2004) This is a 1985 book by a Briton born in New Zealand and studies Britain in the Great War, making no attempt to tell anything not involving Britain. Much of the book is exciting and the account of the war and its horrors attention-holding reading. But there were also lots of dull pages. The book did not end with the Armistice but plodded on for 150 more pages discussing effects of the war in different areas of British life. Regrettably, there is no bibliography, though the footnotes are where they belong, at the foot of the page. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

'By far the best study of Britain and the First World War that has yet been written.' London Review of Books The Myriad Faces of War, first published in 1987, is a unique and compelling study of the First World War from the standpoint of British involvement. It explores the reasons for Britain's entry into the war, the nature and course of Britain's participation, and the far-reaching repercussions of the war on British society. The result is a rich and comprehensive chronicle of the social, political, diplomatic and military aspects of the 'Great War.' 'Professor Trevor Wilson's mighty work on the first world war... is a truly significant contribution to our understanding of what the war meant to the British people... a disciplined, unsentimental and thoughtful book - and it also retains strongly the human touch.' Spectator 'Wilson ranges impressively over all major aspects of the conflict... a judicious, readable overview of a monster subject.' New York Times Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
