Give 'Way to the Right

Viac o knihe

Give 'Way to the Right is the true account of Chris Emmett's experience in World War I. Emmett joined the war effort in 1917 and was part of the American Expeditionary Forces (A. E. F.) on the Western Front, where he served in France with L Company. Written following Emmett's discharge from the army, Give 'Way to the Right was not originally intended for public audiences. The result is an honest record of what Emmett saw in the war: men not given proper medical attention when needed, officers promoted without merit, and trenches that did little to protect the soldiers in them. Emmett's account shows the truth of warfare to later generations that knew nothing of war. It is a memorial to the friends he lost, and a reminder of what lays on a battlefield.
