Four Weeks in the Trenches: The War Story of a Violinist (WWI Centenary Series)

After much persuasion Mr. Kreisler reluctantly acceded to the suggestion that he write out his personal memories of the war for publication. He has completed his narrative in the midst of grave difficulties writing it piecemeal in hotels and railway trains in the course of a concert tour through the country. It is offered by the publishers to the public with confidence that it will be found one of the most absorbing and informing narratives of the war that has yet appeared. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry fiction autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the worlds bloodiest wars offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
