A Boy of 1914 - the opening volume of Between Wars and Men - follows Adam Thomson as he comes of age in a world that believes in certainty, empire, and the nobility of war. From the sunlit fields of England to the mud-choked trenches of the Somme, Adam’s innocence is shattered by the machinery of modern conflict.Through his eyes, the First World War is revealed not as a heroic adventure but as a relentless system that consumes youth, belief, and humanity. He witnesses friends fall, endures the terror of artillery and gas, and confronts the fragile line between life and death - all while trying to reconcile the ideals of his upbringing with the horrors before him.A Boy of 1914 is a visceral, unflinching portrait of adolescence lost to history, the birth of modern warfare, and the first steps of a century that will never forgive its children.
