Missing: The Need for Closure after the Great War

This is a story about the search for the body of Francis Mond, a pilot with the RAF, who was shot down in May 1918. The search was driven by Mond's mother, Angela. The book tells her story, but it also helps us to understand the problem of missing combatants and the effect this had on their families. Van Emden tells a great story. This book is a good read, but it also contributes to our understanding of this particular problem of "The Missing".
