Live and die in the trenches

Two reference historians of "14-18" Remy Cazals and André Loez, we propose, as part of the collection Texto, a man of height to work leaving the spotlight to those who lived through this hell closer.
Parties for a war "victorious fresh &" fighters of the Great War finally soon face a conflict of violence and an unexpected time.
Who are they? How do they live every day? How do they acclimate to this new hell are the trenches? Have they disobeyed? Have they fraternized?
Through six chapters, the authors give us clear and complete answers, not neglecting recent research, even though the book now date there are 5 years. These six themed chapters are as follows:

- Discover trench warfare
- Combat & face death
- Adapting to new forms of life
- Regards, representations & social links
- Resist, dodge, revolt
- After the test: survive, revive, testify

You will come across throughout the book known or unavoidable testimony (L. Barthas, L. Laby ...), but also many other lesser known but equally interesting in the context of this subject. A subject seen from all angles rarely communicated with encrypted information, for example, the number of suicides or the deserters ...
It is ultimately a story that is extraordinarily sensitive returned here and this is probably the dominant feeling on arrival.
Reading highly recommended ...
