When the Guns of August

 When the Guns of August finally ended 11/11/18 with Europe shattered, revolution in Russia, and a worldwide flu epidemic that killed millions, the Great War, the war to end all wars "over there," it must have seemed that everything had changed. Indeed, everything had changed and we live in that changed world today. Change has been the rule every since, and it seems like everything is radically changing today.

Hemingway's Krebs came home to the changes of 1918 to his soldier's home feeling permanently alienated. There must be many of Krebs today.
