Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This profound book explores how the 'weird' and 'uncanny' pervade the battlefield. It contends that WWI brought about a radical re-examination of metaphysical concepts that had been relegated to the realm of fantasy. The book examines not only soldiers' accounts of apparitions, premonitions and other mystical events, but also the responses of those skeptical of such phenomena. This insightful work analyzes the relationship between spiritual intervention and the psychological experiences of soldiers to unravel the philosophical conundrums that arise upon the collision of life, death, and duty.
