About this work

Description

"This is the first full-length study of the trench journalism of the allied nations in World War I. It is the result of a survey of as many English-language trench newspapers and magazines as can be located in British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and American archives ... Although focusing on a short time, a few places and an almost totally unprecedented set of circumstances, this study is not primarily historical in orientation. It is a cultural inquiry that also embraces the social, insofar as it applied to the experience of the trenches-- and beyond-- between 1914 and 1918"--Preface.
