The Caroline Greene article – which is excellent – speaks of the unresolved trauma her WWI veteran grandfather lived with all his life, ending in his suicide nearly 40 years after the war.
The entire Western World was traumatized by WWI in just this same way. Much as we have tried to bury it, almost 100 years later, its legacy remains.
Colin Woodard (only one w in his name). I’ve known him since he was a fine reporter for Budapest Week.
Good catch Doug, thanks.
