Public Schools and the Great War: The Generation Lost

Anthony Seldon and David Walsh examine the impact of public schools on the conduct of the Great War and vice versa. Using new evidence from 200 leading public schools and other archives, the authors challenge the conventional wisdom that the public-school ethos caused needless suffering on the Western Front and elsewhere. This poignant work examines the lives of those who were killed and those who survived the conflict with physical and psychological wounds.
