About this listen

 Experience a powerful collection of authentic accounts from privates and non-commissioned officers that reveal the raw truth of war. With a striking simplicity and directness, these stories offer a more vivid portrayal of the human side of conflict than any expert analysis or romanticized narrative. As noted by The Athenæum, one page of this writing holds more value than countless tomes by war correspondents. The Pall Mall Gazette emphasizes the poignant blend of horror and glory that Mr. Wood’s soldiers convey. This deeply affecting book, praised by the Westminster Gazette, collects a range of poignant, whimsical, and harrowing tales that resonate with anyone who has a heart. As the Daily Telegraph aptly states, these soldiers’ stories will stir your emotions and serve as both an inspiration and a memorial.Copyright Plays and Dramas Art Literary History & Criticism Science Social Sciences World
