Product Information
Winner of both the National Book Award for Arts and Letters and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, Paul Fussell's The Great War and Modern Memory was one of the most original and gripping volumes ever written about the First World War. Frank Kermode, in The New York Times Book Review, hailed it as an important contribution to our understanding of how we came to make World War I part of our minds, and Lionel Trilling called it simply one of the most deeply moving books I have read in a long time. In its panaramic scope and poetic intensity, it illuminated a war that changed a generation and revolutionized the way we see the world.Now, in Wartime, Fussell turns to the Second World War, the conflict he himself fought in, to weave a narrative that is both more intensely personal and more wide-ranging. Whereas his former book focused primarily on literary figures, on the image of the Great War in literature, here Fussell examines the immediate impact of the war on common soldiers and civilians. He describes the psychological and emotional atmosphere of World War II. He analyzes the euphemisms people needed to deal with unacceptable reality (the early belief, for instance, that the war could be won by precision bombing, that is, by long distance); he describes the abnormally intense frustration of desire and some of the means by which desire was satisfied; and, most important, he emphasizes the damage the war did to intellect, discrimination, honesty, individuality, complexity, ambiguity and wit. Of course, no Fussell book would be complete without some serious discussion of the literature of the time. He examines, for instance, how the great privations of wartime (when oranges would be raffled off as valued prizes) resulted in roccoco prose styles that dwelt longingly on lavish dinners, and how the high-mindedness of the era and the almost pathological need to accentuate the positive led to the downfall of the acerbic H.L. Mencken and the ascent of E.B. White. He also offers astute commentary on Edmund Wilson's argument with Archibald MacLeish, Cyril Connolly's Horizon magazine, the war poetry of Randall Jarrell and Louis Simpson, and many other aspects of the wartime literary world. Fussell conveys the essence of that wartime as no other writer before him. For the past fifty years, the Allied War has been sanitized and romanticized almost beyond recognition by the sentimental, the loony patriotic, the ignorant, and the bloodthirsty. Americans, he says, have never understood what the Second World War was really like. In this stunning volume, he offers such an understanding.

- 3***k (222)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem arrived as described and great value. Second time I have bought from this seller and happy with the book at a great price. While the condition is good, I will say though, this book wasn’t sent in a padded envelope like the first I bought. It was sent in a grey plastic wrap and Courier put it through the letter box and without sufficient padding it could have gotten damaged. Thankfully book is ok but padded envelope I feel should be used each time to ensure it arrives as described.

- i***l (1332)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem heavily damaged when recieved. However this could very well be that it was damaged in post as the outside packaging was also damaged. Would have been best to send in cardboard. However I received a quick response and apology from seller with a promise to look into the issue, and got a full refund. No issues there. Won't stop me purchasing from them again.
- x***o (887)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufAnother problem-free purchase from a tried and very tested seller. Accurately described, as are all other books I have previously bought. Promptly posted, so didn’t have to wait long to receive my next good read. Always competitively priced items which also adds to the appeal of buying from this seller. Looking forward to buying many more books from this seller. Thank you.
