Written poetically. But the horror of the trenches, he does not come too close.He sees the war from the stage. The wanton destruction of civilian buildings, churches, public buildings is just another step on the road of history. From the destruction of the Alexandrian library-up to the current Coronation Hiroshima. Nothing has changed. It is just waiting for things to come.He could imagine the horror only partially. The book does not fall into the category of war propaganda. It's the surprise, the mourning over the extinction of cities that have grown over the centuries.
