Max Arthur

    Max Arthur sa špecializuje na historické udalosti sprostredkované priamymi spomienkami. Jeho diela, často vytvárané v spolupráci s Imperial War Museum, sa ponárajú do kolektívnej pamäte vojen. Arthur, ktorý predtým pôsobil v Kráľovskom letectve a ako herec, prináša jedinečnú perspektívu do svojho literárneho bádania, keď dáva hlas tým, ktorí zažili dejiny na vlastnej koži. Jeho prístup spočíva v starostlivom zhromažďovaní osobných svedectiev, čím vytvára pôsobivé a autentické portréty historických momentov.

      From the author of the bestselling Forgotten Voices of the Great War comes a final look at the last 21 living British veterans of the First World War. These interviews, conducted in 2004, will never be repeated, as the youngest was 106 years old, and most are now gone. These first-person accounts follow the young soldiers from their homes throughout Britain to the raging battles while in the service of the Royal Field Artillery, Black Watch, Royal Navy, and others. These combat experiences should never be forgotten.
