In 1960, the Imperial War Museum began a momentous and important task. A team of academics, archivists and volunteers set about tracing WWI veterans and interviewing them at length in order to record the experiences of ordinary individuals in war. The IWM aural archive has become the most important archive of its kind in the world. Now the museum has given author Max Arthur and his team of researchers unlimited access to the complete tapes. These are the forgotten voices of an entire generation of survivors of the Great War. The resulting book is an important, unique and compelling story of WWI in the words of those who experienced it.
