There have been thousands of books on the Great War but most have focused on commanders battles strategy and tactics Less attention has been paid to the daily lives of the combatants how they endured the unimaginable conditions of industrial warfare the rain of shells bullets and chemical agents In The Secret History of Soldiers Tim Cook Canadas foremost military historian examines how those who survived trench warfare on the Western Front found entertainment solace relief and distraction from the relentless slaughter These tales come from the soldiers themselves mined from the letters diaries memoirs and oral accounts of more than five hundred combatants Rare examples of trench art postcards and even song sheets offer insight into a hidden society that was often irreverent raunchy and antiauthoritarian Believing in supernatural stories was another way soldiers shielded themselves from the horror While novels and poetry often depict the soldiers of the Great War as mere victims this new history shows how the soldiers pushed back against the grim war refusing to be broken in the mincing machine of the Western Front The violence of war is always present but Cook reveals the gallows humour the soldiers employed to get through it Over the years both writers and historians have overlooked this aspect of the mens lives The fighting at the front was devastating but behind the battle lines another layer of life existed one that included songs skits art and soldierproduced newspapersWith his trademark narrative abilities and an unerring eye for the telling human detail Cook has created another landmark history of Canadian military life as he reveals the secrets of how soldiers survived the carnage of the Western Front
