Zero Hour (The Joseph M. Bruccoli Great War Series)

Descriere

An autobiographical novel of World War I experiences in the German ranks, Zero Hour equates duty with camaraderie and finds a balance between bitterness and hawkishness. The war is experienced here through the keen eyes of Hans Volkenborn, a well-bred officer-candidate whose youthful enthusiasm turns to angst and disillusion. The sole comfort of his experience is fellowship with his comrades, but even that abates over time.
