Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In the centenary year of the Great War, names such as Ypres, the Marne, the Somme, Passchendaele are heavy with meaning as settings for the near-destruction of a generation of men. It is this aura of tragedy that makes Huntly Gordons memoir, drawn from his letters written from the Front, such a potent one. He was sensitive, intelligent, unpretentious and, as his account reveals, capable of detached and trenchant judgement. As the summer of 1914 drew to a close, it was difficult for a16 year-old schoolboy to realize that the world for which he had been prepared at Clifton College was itself preparing for war. By 1916, he was commissioned in the Royal Field Artillery. By June 1917, he was at the Ypres Salient getting his baptism at Hell Fire Corner in an intensive artillery duel that formed the prologue to Passchendaele itself. Early in 1918, his battery would fight a series of rearguard actions near Baupaume that would help turn the tide of the massive German Spring offensive. Huntly Gordon has given us an enduring and classic memoir: a poignant and extraordinarily human account of history as it happened. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Unreturning Army (2015) by Huntly Gordon ? Sold by Crappy Old Books In The Unreturning Army , Huntly Gordon, acclaimed author of The Unquiet Western Front , revisits the mud, blood, and moral ambiguity of war with sobering clarity and personal insight. Drawing on letters, memories, and the echo of lost voices, Gordon brings to life a generation of young men who marched off in hope and never came home?or did so changed beyond recognition. This 2015 edition from Bantam Books delivers a haunting narrative that fuses history with memoir, examining not just the horrors of the battlefield, but the quieter devastations that follow the survivors. With his trademark humanity and unflinching honesty, Gordon explores duty, disillusionment, and the ghostly presence of those left behind. Condition: Like the soldiers it honours?scarred, a little faded, and holding together remarkably well considering what it?s been through. Smells faintly of old paper and unresolved sorrow. Crappy Old Books: Proudly keeping poignant trauma and beautiful prose in circulation, one yellowed paperback at a time. Virtually brand new condition other than the pesky sticker on the front which I tried to peel off, but without much luck.
