4.9/5 (28610 ratings)

Description:On the Western Front in 1918, during what was to have been the “war to end all wars,” three people meet at an Allied camp near Amiens, only to face coming weeks which will change each of their lives irrevocably. One English, one American, and one Irish, they forge a friendship which transcends nationality, surviving the harrowing nature of a war which would devastate an entire generation. What happens during those weeks and in its aftermath will shape not only the world, but also the lives of those who experienced it, demonstrating the truth inherent in all war, and that as soldiers of every age have experienced, war is not only fought without but within, and the macrocosm of a world in conflict also reflects an intrinsic war where each man and woman must find his and her own sense of peace. _________ “He closed his eyes, feeling the sudden, almost visceral resurrection of the past, sensations he once felt now again moving through him, the cold dampness of the base near Amiens, the chill in the air, the wind howling, and the sweet, dank oak taste of stale whiskey. And along with it came a faded image of a man and woman dancing before a fire as he watched from a distance, the deep stroke of her voice alone haunting him. They had been mirror images of each other, he remembered, she and Burke. The way they had spoken, their expressions, even the movement of their bodies as they had danced…” The A Novel of the Great War com- memorates the experiences of veterans not only of WWI but of all wars, past and pre- sent, recognizing not only the harrowing realities of a world in conflict, but those men and women who experience the devastating effect of the front firsthand, each finding his or her own way to transcend those experi- ences in its aftermath.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
