Through visits to battlefields and memorials, Geoff Dyer examines the way that photographs and film, poetry and prose, determined--sometimes in advance of the events described--the way we would think about and remember the war. With his characteristic originality and insight, Dyer untangles and reconstructs the network of myth and memory that illuminates our understanding of, and relationship to, the Great War.
