Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters and Diary of Alan Seeger, 1917
Those who have read the published poems of Alan Seeger and the sympathetic sketch of his life by Mr. William Archer, in his introduction, cannot have failed to appreciate the motives that led the young American, in his great love for France and her cause, to take up arms in her behalf as a common soldier in the ranks of the Foreign Legion. But it is one thing to yield to a generous impulse and quite another to adhere faithfully to a high resolve through wretched and tiresome hours of unaccustomed hardship and distasteful surroundings. In these pages, written from day to day and from week to week, unchanged and unpolished by afterthought, in the endeavor to make them appear nobler and more consistent than they were when first set down in diary or intimate letter, - no word will be found, either of complaint, of wavering or of discouragement.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique window into the realities of trench warfare during World War I through the personal diary and letters of a young American volunteer serving in the French Foreign Legion. Stationed in the trenches of Champagne and the Aisne Valley, the author vividly describes the daily hardships and dangers faced by soldiers: the relentless artillery fire, the squalor of the trenches, and the constant threat of death. Yet, amidst the bleakness, he also captures moments of beauty and camaraderie, finding solace in the natural world and forging deep bonds with his fellow soldiers. The author's introspective reflections offer profound insights into the psychological impact of war, exploring themes of courage, resilience, and the search for meaning in the face of unimaginable suffering. He grapples with the tension between the brutality of combat and his own love of life, ultimately embracing his role in the larger struggle for freedom. This deeply personal account provides a powerful testament to the human spirit in wartime, reminding us of the enduring capacity for hope and humanity even in the darkest of circumstances.
