Publisher's Synopsis
In June 1914 while Elizabeth was safe in England news came to her of the death of her youngest daughter, Felicitas, who had remained in Germany. She wrote that the war killed her daughter, just as surely as it killed her nephew who had died in a sea battle. Christine tells of the death of a daughter who had gone to Germany in May 1914 to study music. The book contains the mothers introduction, and 37 letters written by Christine before and after the declaration of war. It is a scathing indictment of war and of politicians, and is relevant today.
