Produktbeschreibung

In this brutally honest and gripping novel, Richard Aldington examines the shattered illusions of war and the collapse of heroism. Through the story of George Winterbourne, a young soldier disillusioned by the horrors of World War I, The Death of a Hero offers a raw and unflinching look at the realities of combat and the emotional scars it leaves behind. With vivid prose and an unrelenting perspective, Aldington challenges the myths of heroism and the price of sacrifice.

Rezensionen

"[Death of a Hero] takes its place among the half dozen superb stories of the war that will not let men forget. The Nation

Death of a Hero is a book impossible to ignore. Arnold Bennett

This novel is an undervalued war novel treasure by a pioneering 20th-century literary figure. The quality of writing about the war should rank this novel among the classics about World War I warfare and even for all time. James H. Meredith
