Intimate Voices from the First World War fills in the gaps in the history of the world's first global confrontation with excerpts from recently uncovered letters and diaries of those on the front lines and their friends at home. In their reflections on the vastness of the enterprise of war, these combatants, victims, and eyewitnesses re-create the scope of the conflict with immediacy and tenderness. Written with the frankness and intimacy of words not intended for public eyes -- full of private passions, prejudices, humor, and vivid insights -- these communiqués speak to us directly from within the war itself and from all sides of the conflict. These marvelous historical narratives not only immerse readers in an ongoing dialogue about the meaning of human conflict but also serve as reminders of the individual perspectives and beliefs that sometimes get overlooked during times of global strife. </p> 138862 2004 Intimate Voices from the First World War total:13|5:6|4:3|3:4| 13 54 21 6 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 19:15:28 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 10:24:19 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Dec 10 17:52:28 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 17:52:53 -0800 2008 3 0 true false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 23:33:37 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 12:57:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 05:45:57 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 05:55:26 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Sep 19 21:25:01 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 21:30:19 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Aug 05 09:18:51 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 09:19:10 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Aug 15 12:16:01 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 12:16:12 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 06 10:47:47 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 10:47:47 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon May 18 15:45:15 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 15:45:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Mar 29 20:09:08 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 20:09:08 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 16 01:26:56 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 01:27:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 25 21:22:25 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 21:22:25 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 15 06:36:58 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 06:36:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 12 08:31:14 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 09:51:59 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Nov 11 14:21:02 -0800 2008 Sun Sep 28 22:45:56 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 11 14:21:02 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Jun 02 14:49:47 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 14:49:47 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Apr 07 20:12:35 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 07 20:12:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jan 26 14:03:24 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 26 14:03:24 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Sep 27 19:01:06 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 27 19:01:23 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon Jun 25 15:22:39 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 25 15:22:43 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=143938
