In F. S. Brereton's 'With Wolseley to Kumasi: A Tale of the First Ashanti War', readers are transported back to the late 19th century when British imperialism clashed with the Ashanti Empire in West Africa.

A War Imagined
Author: Samuel Hynes
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1446467929
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 614
Book Description
Between the opulent Edwardian years and the 1920s the First World War opens like a gap in time. England after the war was a different place; the arts were different; history was different; sex, society, class were all different. Samuel Hynes examines the process of that transformation. He explores a vast cultural mosaic comprising novels and poetry, music and theatre, journalism, paintings, films, parliamentary debates, public monuments, sartorial fashions, personal diaries and letters. Told in rich detail, this penetrating account shatters much of the received wisdom about the First World War. It shows how English culture adapted itself to the needs of killing, how our stereotypes of the war gradually took shape and how the nations thought and imagination were profoundly and irretrievably changed.
