Overview

Book Three of Twenty Lives at War tells the Great War through 20 stand-alone stories-twenty ordinary people trapped in one extraordinary storm. A Kansas farm boy meets the trench line. A French baker hides ration bread for hungry children. A Harlem bandleader plays jazz for sleepless wounded men. A German conscript writes letters he cannot send. A Serbian girl runs messages through shelled streets. A nurse in a canvas hospital counts time by ambulances. A British chaplain bargains for one more prayer before the whistle. Across oceans, a U-boat lookout scans gray water; in a munitions plant, a girl learns how sparks travel; a telegram clerk chooses which words to deliver. From mud and barbed wire to factories and kitchens, these lives reveal courage as endurance, rebellion, and homefront hope. Read in any order or straight through.
