BLINDFOLD AND ALONE BY CATHRYN CORNS & JOHN HUGHES-WILSON IN SOUTH AFRICA
Hardcover: Three hundred and forty-six men were executed by British Army firing squads between September 1914 and November 1920. By far the greatest number, two hundred and sixty-six were shot for desertion in the face of the enemy. Controversial even at the time, these executions of soldiers amid the horrors of the Western Front continue to haunt the history of the war, with a Parliamentary campaign today for blanket posthumous pardons.This book is a complete history of this extremely emotive subject.
