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. Drawing on the testimony of over 500 British and American soldiers, Schweitzer provides an in-depth account of topics such as soldiers' prayers and biblical readings, as well as religious doubts. As a detailed snapshot of religion during the war, this study provides a crucial preamble to studies of the legacy of the Great War. |
