Abandoned Places of World War I by Neil Faulkner

4.0

This book provides a look at the remnants of the first World War using photography. Through its high resolution full page pictures and descriptions this book tries to connect the reader with both the history of the war and the aftermath we are left with. As most of those who managed to survive the war have grown old and passed on these abandon places are the only reminders we have left that the war really existed. Yes, we have historians and teachers to pass along the stories of the war, but it is oftentimes the physical evidence that closes the gap from a cold detachment and a startling realization of existence.
