The Missing of the Somme
Author: Geoff Dyer
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307742970
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
The Missing of the Somme is part travelogue, part meditation on remembrance—and completely, unabashedly, unlike any other book about the First World War. Through visits to battlefields and memorials, Geoff Dyer examines the way that photographs and film, poetry and prose determined—sometimes in advance of the events described—the way we would think about and remember the war. With his characteristic originality and insight, Dyer untangles and reconstructs the network of myth and memory that illuminates our understanding of, and relationship to, the Great War.

Meeting of Generals
Author: Tony Foster
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 146971390X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 730
Book Description
D-Day Normandy, 1944. Twenty thousand, five hundred strong, the 12th Waffen-ss Hitler Youth Division marched into battle against Allied Forces. They were the last cream of the German youth, seventeen- and eighteen-year-old lads trained and led by a cadre of battle-hardened officers and NCOs who had survived four years of war in Europe and on the Russian front. With only a year of training, they were nevertheless ferocious fighters. At one critical point in the battle the depleted 12th ss Division fought three Canadian and three British divisions to a standstill. Eighty-five days after the landings, at the Battle of Falaise Gap, less than five hundred of the 12th Divisions front line troops remained. The rest were dead, wounded or captured. MEETING OF GENERALS is the study of a terrible war viewed from the two sides of a battlefield on which different moral and political ideologies struggled to prevail. Parallel biographies trace Generals Meyers and Fosters careers their youth, their ambitions, their sweethearts, their sorrows and personal tragedies and show how each reflected the values of the nation that he served. In the end, both generals realize at Meyers War Crimes court-martial that in war there are no winners or losers only victims.
