Notă biografică
Robert Sackville-West worked in publishing after studying history at Oxford University. He now chairs Knole Estates, the property and investment company which - in parallel with the National Trust - runs the Sackville family's interests at Knole, the house in Kent where his family have lived for 400 years. Robert is the author of the critically acclaimed Inheritance: The Story of Knole and the Sackvilles (2010) and The Disinherited (2014).
Recenzii
This carefully researched and beautifully written book reveals the determination of the families of those who have lost loved ones killed in war to find out what happened to them and where their bodies lie. Each year at the Cenotaph, a memorial whose origins are described here in fascinating detail, we see the public manifestation of a private grief that never fades. There may be a commemorative tomb in Westminster Abbey but there is in truth, as Sackville-West explains, no such thing as an Unknown Warrior
A deeply sad but fascinating topic ... Beautifully written
Remarkable
Robert Sackville-West writes tenderly about death and remembrance . [He] handles this grim subject with grace. The excruciatingly personal stories he tells convey perfectly that desperate need for closure that so many grieving relatives felt . His gentle book is fascinating, but never sensational or gratuitously maudlin
Carefully researched and utterly riveting
A fascinating, moving account . A hidden piece of First World War history is revealed in this sensitive and engrossing study
Deeply moving ... [Sackville-West documents] all these grim stories with compassion
A scholarly and moving account of those who searched, privately and officially - and still search - for the missing . Reflects on the meaning of the war's sacrifice and how to commemorate it
