The First World War was a conflict of unprecedented ferocity.
After the last shot was fired and the troops marched home,
approximately three million soldiers remained unaccounted for. An
unassuming English chaplain first proposed a symbolic burial in
memory of all the missing dead; subsequently the idea was picked up
by almost every combatant country.
Acclaimed author Neil Hanson focuses on the lives of three
soldiers — an Englishman, a German, and an American — using their
diaries and letters to offer an unflinching yet compassionate
account of the front lines. He describes how each man endured
nearly unbearable conditions, skillfully showing how the Western
world arrived at the now time-honored way of mourning and paying
tribute to all those who die in war.
