326 pages, illustrated with photographs. The book tells the story of the First World War entirely through the first-hand memories of the men and women who lived through it, drawn from the Imperial War Museum’s vast Sound Archive. Using recorded interviews with soldiers, nurses, pilots, stretcher-bearers, munitions workers, and civilians, the book pieces together a vivid, chronological account of the war from the excitement and uncertainty of 1914, through the mud, terror, humour, and endurance of trench life, to the great battles of the Western Front and the emotional aftermath of 1918. Because every chapter is built from real voices, the book offers an intimate, unfiltered picture of how ordinary people experienced the conflict, creating a powerful and deeply human history of the Great War.
