Jeffrey Reznick

Healing the nation

Soldiers and the culture of caregiving in Britain during the Great War

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study of caregiving during WW I looks anew at life behind the lines for ordinary British soldiers who served on the Western front. Using a variety of literary, artistic, and architectural evidence, Dr Reznick shows that Britain's 'generation of 1914' was a group bound as much by comradeship of healing as by comradeship of the trenches.
