| Plot Summary of 1914: The Days of Hope |
|---|
"In this stunning book Lyn Macdonald describes the events leading up to the First World War, and the war itself up to November 1914. Concentrating on the individuals who experienced the war, and quoting extensively from their diaries, letters and memoirs, Lyn Macdonald has created a military history for all. The feats of sheer endurance and the victories in the face of overwhelming odds will astound and the dry wit of the British Tommy facing adversity will amaze."
Claire Baldwin, Resident Scholar
