Description
LAST POST is very consciously the last word from the handful of First World War survivors who were left alive in 2004. Now they have passed away, our final human connection with the First World War has been broken. Max Arthur, a skilled interviewer, took the very last chance we had to ask questions of those who were there. Now updated to include a new introduction by the author for the centenary of the First World War.
Author Biography
Max Arthur is a skilled interviewer who has written oral histories of the RAF and Royal Navy during the Second World War as well as the Falklands conflict. FORGOTTEN VOICES OF THE GREAT WAR was a SUNDAY TIMES bestseller both in hardback and paperback.
ReviewsA remarkably poignant book - MAIL ON SUNDAY An extraordinary and immensely moving book These stories are so harrowing, and their witness so precise and devastating - THE TIMES Crammed with such details, conjuring up the atmosphere of war as vividly as the frequent descriptions of appalling violence - DAILY TELEGRAPH
