Books like Lieutenant Owen William Steele of the Newfoundland Regiment by Owen William Steele


Lieutenant Owen William Steele volunteered for the famed Newfoundland Regiment late in 1914. His diary, begun aboard the ship bound for England, records the regiment’s training on Salisbury Plain and in Scotland, the baptism of fire at Gallipoli, recuperation in Egypt, and the brutal campaigns on the Western Front in France. Over the course of twenty‑two months his youthful adventure gives way to weariness, a longing to return home, and a fragile hope for survival. The diary ends just before the Battle of the Somme at Beaumont‑Hemel, a few days before Steele’s death.

 by Olga Hendrikoff

On the eve of her wedding in 1914 came the first rumours of an impending war-- a war that would change Countess Olga "Lala" Hendrikoff's life forever and force her to flee her country as a stateless person, with no country to call home. Spanning two of the most turbulent times in modern history-- World War I in Russia and World War II in Paris-- her journals demonstrate the uncertainty, horror and hope of daily life in the midst of turmoil.

Lawrence in Arabia by 6547177|Anderson, Scott book cover

📘 Lawrence in Arabia
 by Anderson, Scott

The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War One was, in the words of T.E. Lawrence, 'a sideshow of a sideshow'. Amidst the slaughter in European trenches, the Western combatants paid scant attention to the Middle Eastern theatre. As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power. At the centre of it all was Lawrence. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in the sands of Syria; by 1917 he was battling both the enemy and his own government to brin.
