The Cross and the Trenches: Religious Faith and Doubt Among British and American Great War SoldiersBloomsbury Academic, 2003 M05 30 - 311 páginas The modernist historiographical model of the Great War neglects such traditional modes of thought as religious response to battle.

As a detailed snapshot of religion during the war, this study provides a crucial preamble to studies of the legacy of the Great War. |
