Covering the whole war, from the guns of August 1914 to the sudden silence of the November 1918 Armistice, the book reveals what life was really like for the men and women involved. With first-hand accounts of off-duty entertainments, trench fatalism, and going over the top, this is an extremely important contribution to the continuing debate on the First World War. Also in this updated edition there is new evidence on sex and homosexuality, executions, the treatment or mistreatment of prisoners and shell shock.
