THE FIRST WORLD WAR RETOLD

Book ID/图书代码： 12751018C00014

English Summary/英文概要： IWM was founded on 5 March 1917 when the War Cabinet approved a proposal by Sir Alfred Mond MP for the creation of a national war museum to record the events still taking place during the First World War. The intention was to collect and display material as a record of everyone’s experiences during the war - civilian and military - and to commemorate the sacrifices of all sections of society.The First World War Retold tells the story of that war from a fresh perspective, fully illustrated with objects, photographs and works of art from IWM’s unparalleled collections. It presents events as they happened, through quotations from diaries, letters or reported conversations written or spoken within hours, days or weeks of the events they describe. Through these voices and objects - emotive, immediate, and sometimes surprising - the story of the war is retold from a compelling new angle, allowing us to both understand and reflect upon the landmark conflict that still shapes our lives today.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 帝国战争博物馆（IWM）成立于1917年3月5日，当时战时内阁批准了阿尔弗雷德•蒙德议员的一项提议，即创建一个国家战争博物馆，以记录第一次世界大战期间仍在发生的事件。它的目的是收集和展示所有人在战争期间的经历- -平民和军队- -并纪念社会各阶层的牺牲。第一次世界大战从一个全新的角度讲述了那场战争的故事，从IWM无与伦比的收藏品中充分展示了物品、照片和艺术品。它通过日记、信件或报告中所描述的事件，在数小时、数天或数周的时间内，通过引文来呈现事件。通过这些声音和物体——情感的、直接的、有时令人惊讶的——战争的故事从一个引人注目的新角度被重新讲述，让我们能够理解和反思至今仍在塑造我们生活的具有里程碑意义的冲突。（WYL）

"The book examines the Great War from its causes through its aftermath, and the concise text is well-illustrated with both black and white period photographs and color images of the various artifacts that the IWM has been able to collect over the past century....For those who are interested in the Great War, the First World War Retold offers a concise and well-illustrated look at the conflict that swept away the old political and social order but unfortunately set the stage for an even more deadly conflict a generation later. The book is highly recommended, and reading it will probably convince some that they must journey to London to see the new IWM First World War Galleries that author Cornish helped to create." --The Journal Of America’s Military Past
