Last Post - Max Arthur
The Final Word from Our First World War Soldiers (Cassell Military Paperbacks)
KORTE INHOUD
FORGOTTEN VOICES OF THE GREAT WAR was the surprise bestseller of 2002, selling over 60,000 copies in hardback alone. The formula was simple: Max Arthur interviewed some of the 30 surviving British soldiers from the First World War and combined their stories with other interviews in the Imperial War Museum and various private collections. LAST POST is very consciously the last word from the handful of WWI survivors left alive in 2004. When they die, our final human connection with the First World War will be broken: after this book, we will have only recordings or diaries. We will never be able to ask a question of someone who was there.
