5.0 out of 5 starsVeterans: The Last Survivors of the Great War
By Cynthia Panton on June 2, 2000
Format: Hardcover
With the dawning of the new century, the memories of the Great War will be just that. The authors of "Veterans: The Last Survivors of the Great War" have painstakingly sought out those remaining men and women who fought in World War I, and uses their words and memories to paint the picture of the reality of the experience.
The memories are grouped by chapters which makes it easy to use for quick reference or personal interest. Each chapter contains stories, quotations, and memories from soldiers who fought in the trenches, nurses, or those who waited at home. Each chapter incorporates a variety of memories, not just soldier's memories.
As the horror of that War may fade in our memories, this book will serve to remind us of what was endured by so many as told in their own words.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Priceless Memory & Testament .
By M. D Roberts on September 5, 2002
Format: Hardcover
Having watched the television documentary series, reading the book was a welcome addition and a possession that I will always treasure.
As the years go by, these veterans now in their 90's and many aged 100 plus, are becoming fewer and fewer.
Their experiences so excellently documented here are a fitting epitaph to those no longer able to tell their incredible stories.
The vivid recollections of the experiences in the trenches, at the front, going over the top and seeing so many of their comrades slaughtered are heart-rending.
The individual accounts of these heroes portrayed here relate to one of the most catastrophic and traumatic conflicts in history. A conflict that will soon be beyond living memory. These personal stories are a priceless memory and testament of what occurred in order that we might live in freedom.

5.0 out of 5 starsVeterans, The Last Survivors of The Great War
By Indio Bk Luvr on July 16, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Like other books by Richard Van Emden, this collection was totally enjoyable. The author, similar to Brown, Macdonald, Arthur and others, has the great ability to allow the reader to nearly experience the Great War through the eyes of those who fought it. The emotions, fears, feelings of those soldiers and civilians are captured in a magnificent way in this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsEnlightening and Human
By J. Biscoe on December 19, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The book peaked your interest throughout and the stories that came to life showed the horror and tragedies that went on during and after the war that we could never know about. The people involved in The Great War became real people to me and could have been friends or neighbors. The sheer number of people that were wounded and killed when compared to what people complain about now is, in some ways, too much to comprehend.
All in all, a wonderful book that sheds a light on a War that no other book has shown.

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book really emphasizes the goriness of war in the trenches in World War One. Great stories of the survivors however.
