History often reduces wars to a collection of statistics. It is easy to forget that behind every number, every flag, every battle, there is a person who is someone's child, parent, spouse, or lover. During World War I, pen and paper was often all that many had to keep in touch with their far-flung loved ones.
Based on these field letters, of which an incredible 30 billion were sent on the German side alone, Quasthoff and the Amatis Trio trace the humanity in wartime and the personal struggle of the people behind the statistics.
