November 11, 2018, marks the centenary of the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany ending World War I. While the events of the war and its legacy are much discussed, this is the first book to focus solely on the day itself, examining how the people of Britain, and the wider world, reacted to the news of peace. In this rich portrait of Armistice Day, which ranges from midnight to midnight, Guy Cuthbertson brings together news reports, literature, memoirs, and letters to show how the people on the street, as well as soldiers and prominent figures like D. H. Lawrence and Lloyd George, experienced a strange, singular day of great joy, relief, and optimism.-- $c Publisher's description. 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 648 7 $a 1914-1918 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 650 0 $a Armistice Day $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Armistices. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Peace. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015114.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B364306F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
