He begins with Rupert Brooke and the halcyon days before violence engulfed his generation--destroying the self-contented world of Edwardian England--and ends with the tragic death of Wilfred Owen, killed only days before the armistice brought an end to a war that took over 25,000,000 lives. Korda recounts these four years of a civilization destroying itself and portrays the lives and anguished deaths of the young men who unforgettably illuminated it. -- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20240416. 650 $a Soldiers' writings. 650 7 $a World War, 1914-1918. 655 7 $a Informational works. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast 941 $a 4 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240702032322.0 952 $l KXPA353 $d 20240608010553.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012026.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240507010400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=225720000C3711EF907AC7B83FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
