| |  | | | From The Publisher
The year 2000 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of The Great War and Modern Memory, winner of the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and recently named by the Modern Library one of the twentieth century's 100 Best Non-Fiction Books. Fussell's landmark study of World War I remains as original and gripping today as ever before: a literate, literary, and illuminating account of the Great War, the war that changed a generation, ushered in the modern era, and revolutionized how we see the world.
For this special edition the author has prepared a new Afterword, providing insights into the writing of this classic work.

"If you are an author and give one of your books to a member of the upper class, you must never expect him to read it."
"If I didn't have writing, I'd be running down the street hurling grenades in people's faces."
