All Quiet on the Home Front

An Oral History of Life in Britain During the First World War

Beschreibung

Told from the testimonies of the last generation to remember WWI, "All Quiet On The Home Front" is a unique account told from these previously unheard sources. It is these voices which help to paint such a vivid portrait of this era - from the starvation to the suffering and the sacrifices made.
