1915 The Death of Innocence Lyn MacDonald  
More Details

By the end of 1914, the battered British forces were bogged down, yet hopeful that promised reinforcements and spring weather would soon lead to a victorious breakthrough. A year later, after appalling losses at Aubers Ridge, Loos, Neuve Chapelle, Ypres and faraway Gallipoli, fighting seemed set to go on for ever. Drawing on extensive interviews, letters and diaries, this book brilliantly evokes the soldiers' dogged heroism, sardonic humour and terrible loss of innocence through 'a year of cobbling together, of frustration, of indecision'. Over two decades' research puts Lyn Macdonald among the greatest popular chroniclers of the First World War. Here, from the poignant memories of participants, she has once again created an unforgettable slice of military history.

More Details

The view of the Ile de la Cite with the imposing Notre Dame; the Eiffel Tower, seen from above the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysees all give an entirely new deminsion to France's capital." His word picture of the world's romantic center matches Robert Cameron's stunning photography.
