β¦ Synopsis
"From the haunting description of an abandoned battlefield to the pain of losing a loved one in the war to soldiers' struggles with what we now recognize as PTSD, the stories offer an unflinching glimpse into the physical, emotional, and even spiritual implications of World War I. In this collection, we follow the trials of naΓ―ve war widow Annette Stoll, reflect on the power of small acts of kindness toward a dying soldier, and join Johann Bartok, a weary prisoner of war, in his struggle to reunite with his wife"--Amazon.com.;A note on the text -- Remarque at Collier's: writing about war for the American public in the 1930s / Maria Tatar and Larry Wolff -- The enemy -- Silence -- Where Karl had fought -- Josef's wife -- Annette's love story -- The strange fate of Johann Bartock -- On the road -- I dreamt last night.
