Pro Patria Mori by Elizabeth Cowley Tyler Pdf
PRO PATRIA MORI is a story of friendship, rupture and healing. It deals with the fate of three friends: Trevor Howe, from London and Cornwall; Ernst Steiner, from Lubeck, Germany; and Etienne Bonnard, from Fontainebleau, France, all fellow students at Morton College, Oxford, in 1914, just before the outbreak of the Great War. Each enlists to fight for his country and suffers the physical and spiritual consequences of a war which ushers in a new kind of mechanized slaughter. The novel explores the consequences of various types of death for one's country and ends as the world is about to come apart with the outbreak of World War II. The book opens in November, 1938, with Trevor Howe in the midst of a recurring dream about the war wound to his left hand. He has received a letter from Kristina Steiner, the sister of his best friend from Oxford. She tells him that there is to be a memorial service for her brother at Morton College, Oxford, and that she hopes he will attend. Trevor is grieved and relieved to finally learn the fate of his childhood friend -- that he was killed in 1914 at the first battle of Ypres. The novel continues with the paralell stories of Trevor Howe and Kristina Steiner as they try to reconnect. Due to her Jewish grandparents, Kristina is unable to get out of Germany after Krystalnacht to attend the ceremony for Ernst at Oxford. Her fate becomes progressively more entwined with that of Herr Commandant Karl Hauptmann, a Nazi officer who has been assigned by the party to watch over her. The central problem of the protagonist, Trevor Howe is to come to terms with the wounds of his past, both psychological and physical, and to reconnect with his ability to love and create. He does this by trying to reconnect with Kristina Steiner, by reencountering another old friend, Etinne Bonnard, who had dealt with his wound by using his art, and by reinvolving himself with Bonnard ?s sister, Genevieve. The novel explores the various types of death for onÉs country -- the physical death of Ernst Steiner, the death of the soul and creative spirit of Trevor Howe and Etienne Bonnard ?s loss of a youthful and vibrant personality. Bonnard helps Trevor reconnect with his creativity and to write the memoir that liberates the artist in him, and Trevor helps Bonnard recapture some of his youthful joie de vivre, while Kristina Steiner suffers a more sinster fate. The book ends as the world is about to come apart again with the outbreak of World War II.

The Palgrave Handbook of Artistic and Cultural Responses to War since 1914 by Martin Kerby,Margaret Baguley,Janet McDonald Pdf
This handbook explores a diverse range of artistic and cultural responses to modern conflict, from Mons in the First World War to Kabul in the twenty-first century. With over thirty chapters from an international range of contributors, ranging from the UK to the US and Australia, and working across history, art, literature, and media, it offers a significant interdisciplinary contribution to the study of modern war, and our artistic and cultural responses to it. The handbook is divided into three parts. The first part explores how communities and individuals responded to loss and grief by using art and culture to assimilate the experience as an act of survival and resilience. The second part explores how conflict exerts a powerful influence on the expression and formation of both individual, group, racial, cultural and national identities and the role played by art, literature, and education in this process. The third part moves beyond the actual experience of conflict and its connection with issues of identity to explore how individuals and society have made use of art and culture to commemorate the war. In this way, it offers a unique breadth of vision and perspective, to explore how conflicts have been both represented and remembered since the early twentieth century.

Pro Patria Mori by Alan MacDonald Pdf
On Saturday, 1st July 1916, the men of the 56th (1st London) Division, went 'over the top' to storm Gommecourt - a village recognised as the strongest position in the German lines. It was the opening day of the 141-day Battle of the Somme when 57,470 British soldiers were killed, wounded or taken prisoner. The revised and greatly expanded edition of 'Pro Patria Mori' recounts the experiences of the London men who fought and died at Gommecourt. Using the personal recollections of those involved, many previously unpublished, the book is a day by day account of the planning and preparation of the attack. The battle itself is covered minute by minute, with many situation maps to explain the action. Unlike many WWI histories, the fighting is seen from both sides of No Man's Land with accounts drawn from many German unit histories. Amongst the new sections is one describing the horrifying experiences of British Prisoners of War in German PoW Camps The Book contains a full Roll of Honour of all men from the 56th (1st London) Division who died before and during the attack on Gommecourt in which over 1,300 men died in just twelve hours. A new appendix contains the Roll of Honour of Gommecourt's German defenders. The revised edition of 'Pro Patria Mori' is 716 pages long, fully indexed and comes with over 200 photographs and some 20 maps and plans.

Things Worth Dying For by Charles J. Chaput Pdf
With a balance of wisdom, candor, and scholarly rigor the beloved archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia takes on life’s central questions: why are we here, and how can we live and die meaningfully? In Things Worth Dying For, Chaput delves richly into our yearning for God, love, honor, beauty, truth, and immortality. He reflects on our modern appetite for consumption and individualism and offers a penetrating analysis of how we got here, and how we can look to our roots and our faith to find purpose each day amid the noise of competing desires. Chaput examines the chronic questions of the human heart; the idols and false flags we create; and the nature of a life of authentic faith. He points to our longing to live and die with meaning as the key to our search for God, our loyalty to nation and kin, our conduct in war, and our service to others. Ultimately, with compelling grace, he shows us that the things worth dying for reveal most powerfully the things worth living for.

Pro Patria by Marcella Bernard Pdf
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori-It is sweet and right to die for one's country. With these words, Horace exhorted the Romans to fight against the Parthians. Centuries later WWI poet Wilfred Owen branded those words "the old lie." This book explores this sentiment through the eyes of a young man who chose to fight for a country he barely knew.From Bernardino Bernardini we have only a scrap of a letter, a few photographs, and 247 pages of a memoir built from journal entries made during his military service from 1915 to 1919. He completed My Military Life two years after returning to his home in Chicago from his service as an Italian infantryman in World War I. He is neither hero nor coward; rather, an Everyman conflicted by two birthrights and two cultures.For the centenary of the World War I armistice, author Marcella Bernard fulfilled her father's wish to have the work turned into a novel. She added family lore about her uncle as well as extensive research, creating Pro Patria, a fuller picture of Bernardino's life before and during the Great War.

The Great Class War 1914-1918 by Jacques R. Pauwels Pdf
Historian Jacques Pauwels applies a critical, revisionist lens to the First World War, offering readers a fresh interpretation that challenges mainstream thinking. As Pauwels sees it, war offered benefits to everyone, across class and national borders. For European statesmen, a large-scale war could give their countries new colonial territories, important to growing capitalist economies. For the wealthy and ruling classes, war served as an antidote to social revolution, encouraging workers to exchange socialism's focus on international solidarity for nationalism's intense militarism. And for the working classes themselves, war provided an outlet for years of systemic militarization -- quite simply, they were hardwired to pick up arms, and to do so eagerly. To Pauwels, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914 -- traditionally upheld by historians as the spark that lit the powder keg -- was not a sufficient cause for war but rather a pretext seized upon by European powers to unleash the kind of war they had desired. But what Europe's elite did not expect or predict was some of the war's outcomes: social revolution and Communist Party rule in Russia, plus a wave of political and social democratic reforms in Western Europe that would have far-reaching consequences. Reflecting his broad research in the voluminous recent literature about the First World War by historians in the leading countries involved in the conflict, Jacques Pauwels has produced an account that challenges readers to rethink their understanding of this key event of twentieth century world history.
