Paul Fussell, “The Great War and Modern Memory”
Fussell has written a wonderful book regarding the First World War; in it, he does not cover in detail the strategies, the politics, or the battles; instead, he focuses on the people and the literature – the literature that came before, during, and after the war, thus shaping the road to it and our remembrance of it.
In this post I will focus on his description of trench life: the geography, the glorified tale, and the reality.
