World War I stands as one of history's most senseless spasms of carnage, defying rational explanation.In a riveting, suspenseful narrative with haunting echoes for our own time, Adam Hochschild bringsit to life as never before. He focuses on thelong-ignored moral drama of the war's critics, alongside its generals and heroes. Thrown in jail for their opposition to the war were Britain's leading investigative journalist, a future winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and an editor who, behind bars, published an underground newspaper for his fellow inmates on toilet paper. These critics were intimately connected to their enemy hawks:one of Britain's most prominent women pacifist campaigners had a brother who was commander in chief on the Western Front. Two well-known sisters split so bitterly over the war that they ended up publishing newspapers that attacked each other.
Today, hundreds of military cemeteries spread across the fields of northern France and Belgium, containing the bodies of millions of men who died in the "war to end all wars." Can we ever avoid repeating history?

社会和“人”的层面的一战史，反战运动和conscientious objector是个有意思的话题。在中国肯定要被骂白左。一战题材的书太多太泛滥了，我对这书本来期待不高。结果是意外的精彩
