Remainder Mark Bottom Edge. An unread copy. How do you tell the history of a war in which more than nine million combatants and nearly seven million civilians across the world died by bullet, fire, hunger and disease ? How do you describe the experience of a war that ignited two revolutions, brought down four monarchies, scarred a generation and culminated in major political and territorial changes that cast shadows to this day ? Departing from traditional histories, Intimate Voices tells the story of the First World War entirely through the diaries and letters of its combatantsm, eyewitnesses and victims. Each chapter focuses on one important episode of the war told from opposite sides of the conflict. The diaries and letters featured were uncovered during extensive research across twenty-eight countries for the groundbreaking television series The First World War, based on the work of Professor Hew Strachan, whose introduction starts this book. This book is a major addition to First World War literature.

“One day I was walking with my friend Lazar Djukic, and I remarked that Ferdinand was coming soon [and] that it would be nice to prepare a warm welcome for him. In our language that meant assassination… Lazo simply said, -It can be done if someone wants it.’ Up to that point the conversation was a bit of a joke but now my mind was set. All I needed was a gun.” —from the prison diary of Vaso Cubrilovic, a member of a group of Serbian assassins who succeeded in killing Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, sparking WWIHow do you tell the history of a war in which over nine million combatants and five million civilians from 28 countries died by bullet, fire, hunger, and disease? How to describe the scale of an event that ignited two revolutions, toppled four monarchies, decimated a generation and culminated in political changes that cast shadows to this day?Departing radically from traditional histories, Intimate Voices from the First World War tells the story of WWI on a personal and human scale. Through the private letters and diaries of soldiers, children, teens, wives, lovers, doctors, survivors, and victims —accounts unearthed during research for a worldwide 10-part television series—a compelling narrative takes shape that follows the war from beginning to end.Each chapter illuminates a crucial episode of WWI from multiple viewpoints. A starving Polish woman and a disgruntled Austrian officer tell of a long and brutal siege. Two Colonial soldiers—one Canadian and one African—send candid dispatches home from the Western Front. Two children—one German, one French— live through the horrors of occupation, both in adolescent angst. The voices of a German school girl, an American nurse, a black South African laborer, and soldiers from every nation rise to form a chorus of compassion, hatred, hope, and grief. The result is a searingly honest and intimate look at “the war to end all wars.”, Hardcover, تنسيق: International Edition, التسمية: HarperCollins Publishers, HarperCollins Publishers, مجموعة المنتجات: Book, ونشرت: 2004-01-19, تاريخ الإصدار: 2004-01-19, ستوديو: HarperCollins Publishers, رتبة المبيعات: 5531632.
