Family relationships lie at the heart of this book. It explores the contribution letters and parcels from home played in maintaining the morale of this largely young, \u003cbr\u003eamateur army. And it shows how soldiers, in their turn, sought to adapt domestic habits to the trenches. Pursuing the unconscious clues within a rich collection of letters and memoirs with the help of psychoanalytical ideas, including those formulated by the veteran tank commander Wilfred Bion, this\u003cbr\u003estudy asks fundamental questions about the psychological resources of this generation of young men. It reveals how the extremities of battle exposed the deepest emotional ties of childhood, and went on marking the post-war domestic lives of those who returned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Roper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719083860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Roper is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40239029977203,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2351922b-dd72-41ab-a2ef-06eff170014e.jpg?v=1657113133","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-secret-battle-emotional-survival-in-the-great-war-9780719083860","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
