Voices and Images of the Great War by Lyn MacDonald (Second hand)

panning the war years from 1914 to 1918, Macdonald draws on letters, diaries, songs, poems, and photographs—many from her own collection—to present a mosaic of voices from the trenches, hospitals, and home front. The book moves from the early optimism of the Old Contemptibles to the grim realities of Gallipoli, the Somme, and Passchendaele, culminating in the arrival of American forces and the emotional aftermath of Armistice Day.
