Digging into Eyewitness Accounts of World War 1

There is a strong interest in first-hand accounts of the 14-18 War, but they should be explored carefully and presented systematically in order to be meaningful and reliable sources. This lecture by Professor Rémy Cazals (University of Toulouse Le Mirail), one of France's leading scholars of social history, will use the example of the journal of barrel-maker Louis Barthas as a prototype and show how reading it alongside dozens of other lesser known accounts of ordinary soldiers can offer new insights into the history of the conflict.
