Description They Called it Passchendaele By Lyn Macdonald Published by Penguin Group in 1978 Tags: history, world war 1 EPUB, Retail, English (0141960310) Author’s Foreword and Acknowledgments If this book reads like a novel, or even at times like a horror story, please do not blame me. It is all true, or rather it is compiled from more than 600 true stories and eyewitness accounts of men and women who were there in the blood-bath of Ypres. Some of their experiences are reproduced in their own words as they were recorded. Many more are incorporated in the text, and the tiniest details have contributed to building up a picture of life as it was for the Tommies and Anzacs and Canucks who were at Ypres in that terrible summer and autumn of 1917. Writing this book was a straightforward task of compiling and interpreting their experiences in the light of the events which took place as the campaign unrolled. The facts were all there. There was no need for imagination to be brought to bear on them, for the events were beyond imagining. Comments Sharing Widget |
