Description

A unique, powerful narrative — the only detailed North American soldier’s first-hand account of the Great War and three major campaigns (Gallipoli, Somme, and Passchendaele), German POW life, escape, and recapture An equally compelling character in Manuel, who was a poor, rural Newfoundlander who despised privilege, came to hate war, but loved his fellow common soldiers, Allied and enemy alike A unique narrative tone: Manuel does not celebrate Great War glory, or endorse the conventional Canadian theme that WWI made Canada a nation, but instead mourns its colossal, pointless, and all too preventable slaughter Careful, comprehensive research, including the National Archives, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, leading German WWI historian Rolf Schafer’s collected regimental diaries, all relevant WWI records, and the Manuel family history, all thoroughly examined An equally unique backstory: Manuel decided to tell his story at age 82, purchased a Dictaphone, recording 60 hours of his reminiscences to tape, arranged for its complete transcription, and then died, with the original story rediscovered in 2011 by his grandson, hidden in an attic shoebox
