A propos de cet article

Paperback. Lost Voices of the Great War: Summit County in the First World War expands upon the award-winning PBS documentary of the same name, bringing readers even deeper into the stories of the local women and men whose lives were shaped by World War I. This companion volume restores the full, unfiltered voices that were brought to life through period photographs, rare film footage, and dramatic historic reenactments. Since the documentary's debut in 2018, audiences, historians, and family members alike have sought more--more stories, more context, and more voices from a generation nearly lost to time. Inspired by this continuing interest, and by the realization that many powerful accounts never made it onto the screen, Fleischer and Motter have assembled this collection of complete letters and firsthand accounts drawn from local libraries, museums, and archival repositories. Within these pages are the rediscovered words of Summit County residents such as Mary Gladwin, an Akron nurse who volunteered to serve with the International Red Cross overseas, and Fred Seiberling, son of Goodyear Tire and Rubber cofounder F. A. Seiberling, as well as several Goodyearites, like Lester S. Himmelberger, who served in the balloon division, and Charles C. Jackson, the only known decorated African American officer from Ohio. These voices, along with those of newly arrived immigrants and southern migrants who came to Akron's booming rubber industry before answering the call to serve. Together, these letters reveal how individuals of vastly different backgrounds--across class, race, faith, and nationality--were united by a global conflict simply known then as the Great War. Set against the backdrop of industrial transformation and a devastating worldwide pandemic, Lost Voices of the Great War preserves the deeply personal testimonies of those who lived during a moment that irrevocably reshaped the twentieth century. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
