The Amateur Army

This powerful and moving novel chronicles the experiences of a young Irishman who is drafted into the British Army during World War I and sent to fight in the trenches of France. Drawing on his own experiences as a soldier, the author offers a harrowing and unsentimental account of the horrors of war, and explores the psychological toll that it takes on those who are forced to fight. A potent reminder of the human cost of conflict that will stay with readers long after they have finished the last page.
