From the introductory
essay by Donovan Webster, author of "Aftermath: The Remnants
of War":
"...over
a span of nearly two years, Jane Alden Stevens visited perhaps
the 20th century's most haunted places: the European plains
and hillsides where World War I's preponderance of battles
were fought...The result is stunningly remarkable: personal
yet universal, profoundly respectful but inherently pacifist...
Stevens has managed to bring alive the spooky reverence
of these battlegrounds." |
