The Illumination combines love, war, and man's search for self in a story that is both shocking and poetic. What happens during those weeks and in its aftermath will shape not only the world, but also the lives of those who experienced it, demonstrating the truth inherent in all war, and that as soldiers of every age have experienced, war is not only fought without but within, and the macrocosm of a world in conflict also reflects an intrinsic war where each man and woman must find his and her own sense of peace. One English, one American, and one Irish, they forge a friendship which transcends nationality, surviving the harrowing nature of a war which would devastate an entire generation. Synopsis: On the Western Front in 1918, during what was to have been the "war to end all wars" three people meet at an Allied camp near Amiens.
