In A Long Long Way he has created an unforgettable portrait of the horrors of war through the story of Willie Dunne, a young man who leaves his native Dublin in 1914 to join the Allies on the Western Front. Caught between the catastrophic violence he encounters there and the growing political tension at home over Irish independence, Willie finds himself confronting unbearable choices regarding family, patriotism, and the devotion he feels toward his regiment. A deeply affecting portrayal of personal struggle and the consequences of war, this is one of Barry’s most powerful accomplishments.]]> 2005 4 0 false Mon Aug 17 10:51:36 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 10:51:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 8 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=379087
