AUTHOR

Connes, Georges, Vines, Lois Davis

SUMMARY

Georges Connes was a young literature graduate when he was drafted and served in the infamous and bloody battle at Verdun. A survivor, he was captured by the Germans in June 1916 and became a prisoner of war until his repatriation in January 1919. In World War II, he was active in the French Resistance, was arrested and detained, and ultimately went into hiding. Connes' memoir focuses on the human aspects of war, which are all too easy to forget in the age of mass media. He passionately argues against the predominant black and white view of "us versus them." This voice of hope provides insight not only into World War I but into current events in the contemporary world.Connes, Georges is the author of 'POW's Memoir of the First World War The Other Ordeal', published 2004 under ISBN 9781859737880 and ISBN 1859737889.
