Krátký popis
Why were there so many missing in the First World War? And what
happened during the Second World War and in the other wars of the
twentieth century? Both world wars produced casualties on an
unprecedented scale. The missing were the victims of increasingly
mechanised warfare. One minute they were there, the next they had
vanished, vaporised by a shell.Known Unto God describes the
exhaustive hunt for missing servicemen. It looks at how individual
families reacted to the shocking news that their husband, son or
brother was missing and how many mothers and wives could never
accept the loss of their loved ones.This book reveals the
bureaucratic process behind the hunt for the missing and
demonstrates how vital information gathered from the Red Cross and
other sources was carefully pieced together to discover the fate of
these men.Simon Fowler considers the way we memorialise the missing
through the Cenotaph, the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, the Menin
Gate, Thiepval and many other monuments to the missing across the
world.
