"Lest we forget"

"Lest we forget is a book of common recollections, of remembrance, of an age that has quickly faded away, replaced by globalization and mediocrity. This land, once the home of a race of giants, has been shaken by internal regional, and international earthquakes, changing its face forever. This history of the past one hundred and fifty years, as seen through one family, retraces the social and political upheavals of the times. Much that was common heritage disappeared. And thus we go on a journey into the past, a time of innocence, of ancient customs, lest we forget"--P. [4] of cover.
