This book of letters and diary entries from the Great War offers an officer's vivid account of the early days of World War I as they unfolded. Written in near daily fashion to his beloved, the author reveals the humanity behind the uniforms, and the realities of trench warfare, including the horrors he witnessed and the sacrifices made by so many. Divided by the circumstances of the war, the author's thoughts turn to the loved ones left behind. He ponders the concept of glory, as defined by the fallen of past wars, and how it might apply to the sacrifices of the present and future. In passionate letters to his fianc�e, he lays bare his fears and hopes through his descriptions of daily life, his faith in the face of uncertainty, and his growing sense of purpose. Revealing the complexities of war, both its brutality and the courage it inspires, this book provides a unique insight into the impact of the Great War on the men who fought it, and on the families left waiting for their return.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Paris, August i, 1914. I HAVE known it since this morning: the mobilization has been decided. Robert, my lieutenant, is to leave for the front. This has not come as a surprise. Last year he took a certain initiative which met with success. He found his own regiment quartered too far from the frontier. In case there was to be war, he wanted, from the start, to be on the firing-line. I did what I could to further this wish of his. The answer I received was: This is not an especial favor. The reports we have received recommend this officer particularly highly. I was glad of this.
