Rare detail of the horror of War.

This book takes you from a battlefield search for a father. The trenches of World War 1 France,to the same battlefield with the son now in the same trenches. Written thru the eyes of the young man as he sees it: and how his mind processes the horror it sees. This is a masterpiece,for its brutal truth of the simple horrors of war. The blood, the barren waste,the lost dog,and the lost and angry men. Why are the politicians not here,he asks.And even now thru war one still wonders. This book cuts no slake and does not make war noble or great..It is horror written from the minds eye of the Hero.
