'Yanks - A.E.F. (American Expeditionary Forces) Verse from WWI' Summary
This anthology, introduced by John T. Winterich, a prominent editor, brings together a diverse collection of poems written by American soldiers who served in the American Expeditionary Forces during the final months of World War I and the early days of peace. The poems reflect the realities of trench warfare, the emotional toll of battle, and the longing for home. Some poems express patriotism and idealism, while others grapple with the horrors and disillusionment of war. The soldiers' words, captured in their original form, offer a unique and powerful glimpse into the human experience of war. The collection serves as a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of those who fought for their country, and their ability to express their thoughts and feelings through poetry.Book Details
