World War I should not be some distant conflict that consumed an earlier generation. We are dealing with memories, personal histories and narratives in a war that continues to haunt many of us who have a personal connection to it as well as the following one, only twenty years later, that was far more devastating and horrible than the waste and slaughter of earlier one. What is amazing to me is that there are many similarities in how the books are structured and how the war is portrayed. Tonight I report on Birdsong, the second of two books we have read on World War I.
