When World War I started in 1914, Nobody knew that millions of young people would die in the agonizing years ahead. Nobody imagined the effect it might have on circle of relatives life, or that whole villages would disappear, or that entire nations would be changed ceaselessly. They believed their little kids, moms and dads would be home by Christmas. They were tragically incorrect.

With photos, memorabilia, and anecdotes, Linda Granfield brings us face-to-face with people from all walks of life who risked the whole thing for their country. These painstakingly-gathered bits and pieces are remnants of conflict on a scale never before witnessed. Abruptly-penned letters, notes written in code, and prayers for deliverance form an eloquent portrait of humanity, and a startling comment on the devastation of war.
