In addition to supplying an intellectual framework for this new system, Baty and Morgan address practical topics, such as...

ISBN: 9780861933273 / Angielski / Miękka / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Through a detailed local study of a district containing a wide variety of religious, economic and social variations, he shows how both the survivors and the bereaved came to terms with the losses and implications of the Great War. His study illustrates the ways in which communities as diverse as the Irish Catholics of Wapping, the Jews of Stepney and the Presbyterian ex-patriate Scots of Ilford, thanks to the actions...

Memoirs of a young volunteer in World War 1 to the Royal Naval Division and service in France and Belgium prior to being captured.

His war began when the combination of zeppelin raids on London, the war situation in France and his sense of duty impelled...

The Unreturning Army
ISBN: 9780857501950 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A classic account of one man's experiences on the Western Front, now republished in a revised and expanded edition in anticipation of the centenary of the First World War.
Nearly 100 years have passed since the guns blazed in the ever-deepening mud of Passchendaele. Yet places such as Ypres, the Marne and the Somme can never remain mere names in a chronicle of war -- they are heavy with meaning as the setting for the near-destruction of a generation of men. It is this aura of tragedy that makes Huntly Gordon's book -- consisting mainly of his own letters written home from the front - such...

Dead Men Talking: Afterlife Communication from World War I
ISBN: 9781910121139 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As science flourished in the years leading up to World War I, religion floundered. Thus, the warring countries were little prepared to deal with the grief and despair that arose from millions of deaths. Apparently, the spirit world took notice, and, while greatly limited in its ability to communicate with us, the spirits managed to get through to more open-minded mourners, providing comfort and solace. Messages, many of them very evidential, came from fallen warriors, through various mediums, telling their loved ones that they were still "alive" and still with them. This book is an anthology...

With the recent discovery of a mass grave and the disinterment of many diggers, it has now entered national consciousness in the same way as Gallipoli. In one night, British and Australian soldiers suffered casualties equivalent to the total toll of the Boer War, Korean War and Vietnam War combined. Barton's research has revealed that the Australian frontline troops gave away critical...
