While the events of the war and its legacy are much discussed, this is the first book to focus solely on the day itself, examining how the people of Britain, and the wider world, reacted to the news of peace.   In this rich portrait of Armistice Day, which ranges from midnight to midnight, Guy Cuthbertson brings together news reports, literature, memoirs, and letters to show how the people on the street, as well as soldiers and prominent figures like D. H. Lawrence and Lloyd George, experienced a strange, singular day of great joy, relief, and optimism. 606 $aArmistice Day$xHistory 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xArmistices 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPeace 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2lcgft 615 0$aArmistice Day$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xArmistices. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPeace. 676 $a940.46 700 $aCuthbertson$b Guy$f1975-$01256927 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828765603321 996 $aPeace at last$94097159 997 $aUNINA
