Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an insightful glimpse into the hearts and minds of the British during World War I. The author, a Spanish journalist, spent time on the Western Front, visiting British troops and hospitals, and his observations provide a unique perspective on the character of the British people during this tumultuous time. The book explores the apparent contradiction between the British reputation for politeness and chivalry and their willingness to fight a brutal war. The author argues that this paradox can be explained by the British soldiers' sense of fair play and their belief in the righteousness of their cause. He also discusses the impact of the war on British society, including the role of women and the changing attitudes towards class and privilege. Through the author's vivid descriptions and thoughtful analysis, this book sheds light on the complexities of British culture and the motivations of those who fought in World War I. It is a valuable contribution to the historical record of this era and provides a fascinating insight into the human experience of war.
