Affiche du document Old Soldiers Never Die — Old Soldiers Never Die
Frank Richards

Histoire
Youscribe plus
114 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h25min.
The author had enlisted in 1901 in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and was a reservist when the First World War broke out. He rejoined his old, 2nd Battalion and landed in France with them on 11 August 1914. He went right through the war with the battalion, never missing a battle, winning the D.C.M. and M.M. Here is a typical soldier of the pre-1914 regular army, and this book is a delight, written in his own unpolished manner. Fighting, scrounging, gambling, drinking, dodging fatigues, stolidly enduring bombardment and the hardships of trench warfare, always getting his job done. This is one of the finest of all published memoirs of the Great War, truly a classic of its kind. A tribute to the army that died on the Western Front.

Long, Long Ago is a collection of Woollcott’s writings in the style of While Rome Burns. It is a bird’s eye view of the people, the institutions, the facts and fancies of an unforgettable bygone era. As a famous critic and commentator for The New Yorker magazine, he tells true anecdotes about the famous people he came into contact with. Indeed, as one of New York's most prolific literary and drama critics, Woollcott was an owlish character whose caustic wit either joyously attracted or vehemently repelled the artistic communities of 1920s Manhattan, but always delighted readers.

What caused the stock-market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed? This book blows away the conventional interpretations, not only in its contents but that the book exists at all. The Bubble that Broke the World was written in 1931. Author Garet Garrett ascribes the crash to the pile-up of debt, which in turn was made possible by the Federal Reserve's money-printing machine. This created distortions in the economy that cried out for correction. So what is the answer? Let the correction happen and learn from our mistakes?
