Angels Defiant: Two Accounts of Pilots on the Western Front During the First World War 1914-1918-Above the French Lines by Stuart Walc
ISBN: 9781782822936 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two American pilots above the Western Front
Accounts of the lives of the young men who flew and fought as pilots during the First World War-the first war of the air-are comparatively few in number.

The rate of mortality among these brave young men was high and, indeed, the two accounts here both concern American pilots who were killed. Walcott joined the French air service and was assigned to Escadrille Spad 84 and was shot down in December of 1917 having gained one... Two American pilots above the Western Front

ISBN: 9781137453372 / Angielski / Miękka / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To the British soldiers of the Great War who heard about it, 'shell shock' was uncanny, amusing and sad. To those who experienced it, the condition was shameful, unjustly stigmatized and life-changing. The first full-length study of the British 'shell shocked' soldiers of the Great War combines social and medical history to investigate the experience of psychological casualties on the Western Front, in hospitals, and through their postwar lives. It also investigates the condition's origin and consequences within British culture.

Edward Hicks: Pacifist Bishop at War: The diaries of a World War One Bishop
ISBN: 9780745956534 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Edward Hicks was the Bishop of Lincoln during the First World War - a cleric who had condemned the war but had to watch his sons go off to fight - one not to return. He kept detailed diaries - full of often indiscreet comments - and through them we see a man wrestling with his own conscience and beliefs, in a very public role. He was also a strong supporter of votes for women - highly unusual at that time - and a supporter of teetotalism, again, an unusual stance for a C of E dignatory. This book will be a fascinating glimpse into the impact the War had on those who waited at home, and tried...
