Letters in The Dark

While investigating financial crimes for CNN Money, Blake Ellis and Melanie Hicken were intrigued by reports that elderly Americans were giving away thousands of dollars to mail-in schemes. With a little digging, they soon discovered a shocking true story.

1918 was probably the most dramatic and decisive year in British military history. Published on the eightieth anniversary of the 1918 Armistice, this book tells the story of a year during which the casualty lists on all sides were longer, the turns of fortune were most remarkable, and action was most intense. The author uses first-hand accounts of the participants of this dreadful conflict to tell of the horror of this conflict as seen through the eyes and experiences of the soldiers. With access to the Imperial War Museums archives he utilizes the reports, letters, diaries and interviews of the soldiers and civilians on both sides who fought during 1918. This is not only history but also flesh and blood. The accounts of some the people in this book are truly sad, they hit home and make plain that these were real people, individuals caught up in a war of massive scale and destruction.
