Coles Men who marched and never came home: A generation shattered in industrial war's machinery at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
By 1914, Europe had perfected the machinery of death but forgotten how to stop it. This book focuses on the human experience of World War I—the soldiers who faced machine guns, poison gas, and artillery barrages that erased entire battalions in minutes. It moves beyond generals and strategies to examine how ordinary men and women endured the first fully industrial conflict in history. Trench warfare created a new kind of suffering: psychological collapse, physical mutilation, and a permanent break between those who fought and those who stayed home. The war consumed not just lives but entire communities, leaving villages without young men and families without futures. This account traces how the scale of death reshaped European society, from the rise of war memorials to the silent grief that became a national condition. The generation that survived was never whole again—and its trauma echoed through every subsequent decade.
