A good idea of hell : letters from a chasseur à pied
"Echoing from the mountainous Vosges front of World War I come the rare accounts of an elite French foot solider - a chasseur a pied. Robert Pellissier, born in France in 1882, had grown up in the United States and was teaching at Stanford when the Great War broke out in his homeland. Returning as a volunteer, he saw uninterrupted months of trench warfare in the Vosges Mountains of Alsace, the only region where French troops actually captured German territory, a sector largely neglected in World War I literature."
