Like many young and idealistic Australian men, Stephen Conway rushed to enlist in the ‘the war to end all wars’ in 1914. After a hasty marriage, Stephen leaves his new wife with a baby on the way and is shipped to Gallipoli. Very soon, though, the promise of adventure and glory of battle vanish completely as the reality of war sets in. After four nightmarish years, Stephen is the lone survivor of his platoon fighting in the trenches of France’s bloody battlefields. Traumatised and exhausted he inexplicably disappears and the official record of his life comes to an abrupt end – that is until his grandson, Patrick, discovers his diary more than 80 years later. This personal account of the horrors of World War I propels Patrick on a journey to uncover the truth of his grandfather’s fate – which is more disturbing than he could have ever imagined. Set against true historical events, Barbed Wire and Roses deftly brings together past and present, ancestor and descendant, in a gripping tale of war and its aftermath.

And the worst is yet to come with the full break of World War 11.Josh's fate remains unknown, and she must find him at all costs. The search in a stormy day leaves a deep wound into her forehead. Luckily, a passerby Christian nurse named Antoinette, two years her senior, rescues her, stopping a young man driving his wife to a hospital to give birth to their first baby. Learning about her dissolute situation, Antoinette invites Natalie to her home. Politely she refuses; her mission is not accomplished yet. After weeks of futile search to find out what could have had happened to Josh, she is discouraged.

Consumed by the promise she makes to the child and his aunt, she puts her life at risk again. Her determination to return to the camp; leaves Antoinette with no choice other than to accompany her, sending a note to her parents that they had been kidnapped on their way to serve in an orphanage- kidnapping was then a common Nazi practice. In the camp "the- forever-best friends" endure all kinds of sadistic physical tortures and Natalie receives the extra- treatment: rape. Josh is not there. Instead, and oddly enough, she finds solace in the- newly- assigned camp's commandant. What motivates that Nazi to show her a special affection- emotional interest is excluded? He offers to help her escape, but she turns the offer down for more than one reason. She continues struggling to survive all the camp's physical and emotional hostilities until...

Download or read book Barbed Wire written by Reviel Netz and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of animals and humans as seen through barbed wire. In this original and controversial book, historian and philosopher Reviel Netz explores the development of a controlling and pain-inducing technology—barbed wire. Surveying its development from 1874 to 1954, Netz describes its use to control cattle during the colonization of the American West and to control people in Nazi concentration camps and the Russian Gulag. Physical control over space was no longer symbolic after 1874. This is a history told from the perspective of its victims. With vivid examples of the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment, this dramatic account of barbed wire presents modern history through the lens of motion being prevented. Drawing together the history of humans and animals, Netz delivers a compelling new perspective on the issues of colonialism, capitalism, warfare, globalization, violence, and suffering. Theoretically sophisticated but written with a broad readership in mind, Barbed Wire calls for nothing less than a reconsideration of modernity.
