- Summary:
- Sheehan, an Irish military historian, takes advantage of diaries, letters, and memoirs to tell the story of the men who served in the northern and southern Irish regiments in World War I. His book includes first-hand accounts of combat, soldiers' thoughts on the war and peace, life in the trenches and the friendships of the soldiers who endured horrible conditions there, and a look at how the Irish soldiers interacted with French and other British soldiers. The book will interest military history readers as well as those who want to know more about what the war and trench warfare was like for the people who participated in it.
