Author: HOCHSCHILD, ADAM
In this brilliant new work of history, Adam Hochschild follows a group of characters connected by blood ties, close friendships, or personal enmities, illustrating how the war exposed the deep divisions between them.
Key Highlights:
- Brother and Sister at Odds: A striking contrast between a brother, a career soldier, and his sister, a committed pacifist, whose views on the war could not have been more diametrically opposed.
- A Politician's Dilemma: The politician tasked with sending young men who refused conscription to prison, while his godson was one of those very men.
- Divided Suffragette Sisters: Two suffragette sisters, one passionately supporting the war, and the other equally passionately opposing it.
Through these divided families, Hochschild paints a vivid picture of Britain at a pivotal moment in history—poised between the optimism of the Victorian era and the dark shadows of Auschwitz and the Gulag. It is a portrait of a divided country, fractured by the seismic upheaval of the Great War and its aftermath.
