Tha leabhraichean-latha gach fear agus t猫 dhiubh seo a' soilleireachadh c霉isean gu f矛rinneach tron e貌las fh猫in, rud nach eil tric ann an t霉san eachdraidheil, le sgeulachdan cumhachdach l脿n faireachdainnean mu chall pearsanta, gaol, toileachas, cr脿dh agus trom mhulad.

Mar sin, tro dhr脿ma dhl霉th-aithriseach chumhachdach, tha an luchd-amhairc a' faighinn sealladh dhen chogadh as br霉ideile a chunnaiceas riamh, tro bheachdan agus sh霉ilean nan truaghan a bha na mheasg neo na ph脿irt dheth.

eachdraidheil.

Based on letters and journals, many of which have never been published before, this programme tells the story of 1914-18 solely through the eyes of those who lived through it.

After more than three years, the war is beginning to draw to a close. Featuring the stories of a young Cossack woman caught up in the Bolshevik revolution, a wealthy English lady who, as part of the newly formed women's police force, becomes involved in a strike at an ammunition factory, an Australian piano teacher trying to get home from behind enemy lines, an Italian-American committed as insane who leads a revolt in a mental institution, a German soldier caught up in a mutiny, a German schoolgirl who attempts suicide, an experienced English journalist who is sickened by the Allies' behaviour as the war comes to a close, and a young French boy who witnesses the German retreat and the final end of the war.

Through glorious dramatic reconstruction, viewers experience the greatest war mankind had ever seen from the perspective of what it was like at the time.
