The Long Road To Victory (1920)

The Long Road To Victory is a historical novel by John Buchan, first published in 1920. Set during World War I, the book follows the experiences of a young Scottish soldier named Dickson McCunn, who is conscripted into the British Army and sent to fight on the Western Front. McCunn quickly learns the harsh realities of war, but also finds camaraderie and courage among his fellow soldiers. As the war drags on, McCunn becomes disillusioned with the conflict and begins to question the motives of the politicians and generals who are leading the war effort. He also falls in love with a French nurse named Fran�����oise, who helps him see the humanity in the enemy soldiers he is fighting against. The book is a powerful exploration of the impact of war on ordinary people, and the moral complexities of fighting for a cause.

Buchan, who himself served in World War I, brings a vivid realism to the book, drawing on his own experiences to create a compelling and authentic portrayal of life on the front lines.
