PayParticular attention to the Details they Highlight and the Methods andLanguage they Used to do so?In the trenches behind the lines, men and women struggled to hold onor recreate fragments of an normal life - a letter from home, a potof jam, a kiss - to remind them of their own humanityToday I saw pictures of Britains brave soldiers leave for struggle inIraq. As a nation we are able to watch a war unfold before us in a guidancenever experienced before. The constant pictures of the death,destruction and disgraceful nature of war help people to see theatrocities of war. In many wars of the past the horrors of war soak upnot been available to the p ublic due to censorship and lesscommunication I draw a contrast to the British people in World WarOne who also watched their soldiers leave in glory to fight a war witha dream of seeing the world and the glory of war, build up with littlemore than the old lie Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. Whilstwith such vivid images of our boys it is hard for us to forget aboutthe men who are fighting, in World War One so many soldiers left withaspirations to see the world and got as far as France - their destinyto die in a muddy field.

Normally Macintyre uses a quote from adiary or record to bring meaning to help his audience take care howpeople felt. The book has a journalistic style and, as withjournalism, the author tends to stick to facts for most of the bookMacintyres style is descriptive but largely unromantic.
