I compiled this selection of images and quotations from the First World War for New Holland Ltd. in 2005. The selection of quotations, which were applied to some pretty serious images, was designed to be somewhat cynical. I've always been fascinated by the Great War - 'The War to End All Wars' - because it combined utter stupidity with unbelievable courage.
Only twenty years later the 'War to End All Wars' was resumed with Germany its initiator. More stupidity. More courage.
This book, though in short supply, is still available from some bookstores, and can be found on Amazon.com, ABE Books, TradeMe and E-Bay.
