Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and death of Bascom Lee Field, a young man from North Carolina who embodied the ideals of American ingenuity and dedication. Field, a talented engineer, volunteered for service in the U.S. Army during World War I, choosing a path of wartime service over a promising career in peacetime construction. The author recounts Fieldââ â¢s life in detail, highlighting his academic achievements, his leadership skills, and his quiet strength. The book carefully outlines Field's journey from his upbringing in the rural South, through his education at the University of North Carolina, and ultimately into the trenches of the Western Front. It is through the lens of Field's life and tragic death that the author explores the cost of war, both in terms of individual lives and in the loss of human potential. The book also offers a critical examination of the role of engineers during World War I, showcasing their essential contribution to the Allied victory. This powerful narrative not only honors the memory of a remarkable individual but also illuminates the larger human story of sacrifice, loss, and the enduring power of ideals in the face of unimaginable conflict.
