Between the Lines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417985616)

Between the Lines is a novel written by Boyd Cable, which tells the story of a group of soldiers during World War I. The book is set in the trenches of France and follows the lives of the soldiers as they struggle to survive in the harsh conditions of war. The story is told through the eyes of a young soldier named Tommy Atkins, who is eager to do his duty for his country but is also fearful of the dangers that lie ahead. Throughout the book, Tommy and his fellow soldiers experience the horrors of war, including trench warfare, gas attacks, and the loss of friends and comrades. Despite the hardships they face, the soldiers find moments of camaraderie and humor, and they draw strength from their shared experiences. Between the Lines is a powerful and moving portrayal of the human cost of war, and it offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought and died for their countries.1915. This book, all of which has been written at the Front within sound of the German guns and for the most part within shell and rifle range, is an attempt to tell something of the manner of struggle that has gone on for months between the lines along the Western Front, and more especially of what lies behind and goes to the making of those curt and vague terms in the war communiqu�����s. I think that our people at Home will be glad to know more, and ought to know more, of what these bald phrases may actually signify, when, in the other sense, we read between the lines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
