Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the misrepresentation of Britain's military role in the First World War, revealing how literary myths have overshadowed historical truths. It examines the influence of war poets, trench memoirs, and iconic works like All Quiet on the Western Front and Journey's End, which shaped public perception in various eras, including the inter-war period and the 1960s. The author argues that historians have often reinforced these myths but suggests a shift towards a more accurate understanding of the war's legacy in recent years.
