The myth that the war was fought by 'lions led by donkeys' powerfully endures turning heroes into victims. Alan Wilkinson demonstrates the sheer horror, moral ambiguity, and the interaction between religion, the church and war with a scholarly, and yet poetic, hand. The author creates a vivid image of the church and society, incl UR - http://site.ebrary.com/id/10832806 UR - http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=813523 UR - http://www.myilibrary.com?id=617387 UR - http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt1cgdwv3 ER -
