Summary
"From enlistment in 1914 to the end of service in 1918, British men's bodies were constructed, conditioned, and controlled in the pursuit of allied victory. This book considers the physical and psychological impact of war on individuals and asks the question of who really had control of the soldier's body. Employing a wealth of sources, including personal testimonies, official records, and oral accounts, Simon Harold Walker provides a unique top-down history of individual soldiers' experiences during the Great War"--, Provided by publisher
