Forgotten voices of the Great War

See all formats and editions

In 1960, the Imperial War Museum began a momentous and important task.

A team of academics, archivists and volunteers set about tracing WWI veterans and interviewing them at length in order to record the experiences of ordinary individuals in war.

The IWM aural archive has become the most important archive of its kind in the world.

Authors have occasionally been granted access to the vaults, but digesting the thousands of hours of footage is a monumental task.

Now, forty years on, the Imperial War Museum has at last given author Max Arthur and his team of researchers unlimited access to the complete WWI tapes.

These are the forgotten voices of an entire generation of survivors of the Great War.

The resulting book is an important, unique and compelling story of WWI in the words of those who experienced it.

This is a classic for years to come.
