SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Connes referred to his time as a POW as 'The Other Ordeal, ' recognizing that the most important suffering continued for those who had to endure the 'firing, blood and mud' of war. Connes focuses on the human aspects of war, which are all too easy to forget in the age of mass media. Rather than demonizing his German captors, for example, he describes individual examples of gratuitous acts of kindness."--Jacket.
Text of Note
"This memoir offers a fresh look inside the trauma of war and captivity during the First World War, with resonance for today's world." "George Connes was a young literature graduate when he was drafted and served in the infamous and bloody battle of Verdun. A survivor, he was captured by the Germans in June 1916 and became a prisoner of war until his repatriation in January 1919. In the Second World War, he was active in the French Resistance, was arrested and detained, and ultimately went into hiding. After the war, he served as the interim mayor of Dijon before returning to his academic life as a professor."
