* Shuns the heroics portrayed by Hollywood* Fussell concentrates on the human factor in World War II* Examines the everyday life British and American people experienced on the home and battle fronts
Paul Fussell bol americký kultúrny a literárny historik, ktorého dielo pokrývalo rôznorodé témy, od odborných prác o anglickej literatúre osemnásteho storočia po komentáre k americkému triednemu systému. Najväčšiu slávu mu priniesli jeho spisy o prvej a druhej svetovej vojne, ktoré vychádzajú z jeho vlastnej skúsenosti z európskeho bojiska. Fussellov štýl sa vyznačoval prenikavou analýzou a bystrosťou, často s dôrazom na iróniu a podkopávanie konvenčných predstáv. Jeho literárne dedičstvo spočíva v schopnosti osvetliť ľudskú skúsenosť prostredníctvom kritického skúmania kultúry a histórie.

A new edition of Paul Fussell's literate, literary, and illuminating account of the Great War, now a classic text of literary and cultural criticism.

Drawing from his own experiences, he critiques the romanticized perceptions of war by addressing strategy and leadership while exposing the brutal truths often masked by glorified accounts. This compelling account serves to honor the soldiers who fought as children, providing a profound understanding of their sacrifices and the harshness of the battlefield.
