Behind the Lines by W. F. Morris

vsbedford's review

3.0

A solid, action-filled entry for the literature of WWI - it's not All Quiet on the Western Front, I think it leans a bit too British adventure for that and perhaps it's an unfair comparison anyway, but there is a level of casual realness to the violence (both war-based and man-to-man) and Mr. Morris does make the reader feel the trench warfare to an admirable degree.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Two young men, Tankard and Rawley decide to enlist in the army, and later meet for a few minutes while in France. The next time Tankard believes he sees Rawley is in front of a German firing squad, as he also has been taken prisoner. This is Tankard's First World War tale.
For the most part this is quite a depressing story, hardly surprising concerning the topic. But worthwhile if this is a genre that you enjoy reading.
