silence. Great names crowd the pages of our books, but what of those swept under by the waves consumed by revolutions, dragged into events they never chose?
The dead of war are not mere numbers. They carried shattered dreams, letters that never reached their destinations, lullabies that were never sung.
This book is an attempt to call them back from the silence of history. It gathers scattered cries from many eras: from the French Revolution, when a monarchy fell and the guillotine drank deep; from the American Civil War, when one nation turned its weapons upon itself in the name of freedom.
