Description:
The cemeteries and trenches of Northern France and Belgium are sad, silent witnesses to the First World War. In Resistance and Unity, Adam Hochschild brings the personal stories behind this horrific war to life. He portrays the war heroes, but also tells the long-ignored dramas of the opponents, including a future Nobel Prize winner and an editor who published a newspaper on toilet paper for his fellow prisoners who were behind bars because of their resistance. Hochschild gives a multifaceted picture of a war that should have ended all wars. The descriptions of the lives of the historical figures make Resistance and Unity read like a novel.
