Title: Thorough Study of Great War Soldiers' Religious Inclinations
Product review: Cross and the Trenches (CT) offers an exhaustive and skillfully written survey depicting the spectrum of religious faith and doubt both at and behind the front lines during the First World War. Schweitzer tracks the complicated fault lines along which the church and Christian faith - both in organized and internalized form - fed into the horrific experiences of Great War soldiers, and, more importantly, how the religious beliefs or lack thereof taken into battle by these men blossomed, festered, solidified and evolved under the most trying of circumstances imaginable. For those seeking to understand the complicated role that faith played in the lives of Great War soldiers - and in the societies at large from which they came - The Cross and the Trenches offers a invaluable first hand record.
