| Description | Dunedin's Jack Braithwaite doesn't have to go to France in 1916, but he goes, in part at least because of beliefs about decency and truth. But, far from defending his values in the trenches, he finds himself caught up in a system where decency and truth have lost their meaning, and where he becomes a victim not of German bullets but of his own side's callous incompetence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
