Four Weeks in the Trenches is a classic World War One biography by the great violinist, Fritz Kreisler. The first war book actually written by a man who has served at the front in WW1 was written by a famous violinist. The material is presented with vigor and simplicity. One of the phenomena of war--the sudden transformation of the highly emotional, neurotic man of literary or artistic pursuits, accustomed to an atmosphere of refinement, culture, and luxury, into a primeval savage in the space of a few days--interests the author.
