The Unquiet Western Front: Britain's Role in Literature and History - Hardcover
Britain's role in the First World War has been portrayed through literature, films and plays with a marked un-historical, anti-war spirit. Deeply-rooted myths have thus become dominant and historians have either endorsed them, or have written narrowly for other specialists. As a result of the opening of official military archives and more objective study, these portrayals are now being challenged. This book traces the controversy from 1918 to the present, concluding that historians are finally permitting World War I to be placed in a more accurate perspective.

Book Description:
Britain's role in the First World War has been portrayed mainly through literature, films and plays, in most cases with a marked un-historical, anti-war spirit. As a result deeply-rooted myths have become dominant. Historians have either endorsed them, or have written narrowly for other specialists. Now, thanks to the opening of the official archives and a more objective approach, the myths are being challenged. This book follows the controversy from 1918 to the present, and concludes that historians are at last permitting the War to be placed in proper perspective.
About the Author:
Brian Bond is Emeritus Professor of Military History, King's College London. One of Britain's leading military historians, he has been President of the British Commission for Military History since 1986.
