In Which They Served

"In this book, Richard Cullen lets the medals of five decorated soldiers who served and survived tell the story of World War I... Placing their lives in proper political and military contexts, Cullen illuminates the personal side of war--and peace--through the lives of his subjects. Their varied and multilayered accounts tell stories of sadness, compassion, bravery, and the search for fulfillment in postwar life. They served on land, in the air, and at sea, and their untold stories open our eyes to the struggles that so many faced without formal recognition."--Amazon.com.
