This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war.

A powerful reflection on the harsh reality of war and its profound impact on a generation. The author's words convey the somber truth that even those who survive the physical dangers of battle can still be deeply scarred by its horrors.
