Back Over There

In "Back Over There," Richard Rubin revisits the legacies of World War I through a compelling journey that spans both time and geography, building on his earlier work, "The Last of the Doughboys." By interviewing the last surviving veterans and exploring the battlefields of the Western Front, he reveals how the memories and ruins of the war remain alive for the French, in stark contrast to American perceptions. With a blend of reverence and enthusiasm, Rubin uncovers the stories and artifacts that connect past and present, while highlighting the dedication of local historians preserving this shared heritage. The audiobook is narrated by the author himself, adding a personal touch to his insights and discoveries.
