Description

Book Synopsis
"I can't describe my frame of mind that afternoon. Not for a moment did I feel any fear of death; one simply abandons oneself to fate."-Karl Aldag, killed at Fromelles, France, age 26

Trade Review
"There is a poignant appeal about the letters owing to the fact that every one of the writers was killed in battle. Some of their descriptions are fine pieces of writing; they all bear the marks of actuality." * Times Literary Supplement *
