Description

Before the guns thundered in 1914, before the world cracked in half, there was a generation standing at the edge—forgotten, fragmented, and fading. The Lost Generation: 1883–1900 is a haunting, poetic excavation of the men and women born into the twilight of empire and thrust into the furnace of modernity.

Blending narrative history with Gonzo grit, Martin Foskett resurrects those whose lives bridged two centuries of transformation and trauma. This is not a story of victors or villains. It is the tale of a generation misfiled by history—raised on steam and scripture, buried by shellfire and silence.

From soot-choked nurseries to the factories of war, spiritual séances to the backrooms of revolution, this book follows a generation who were never meant to be remembered—but whose lives shaped everything that came after.

Profound, irreverent, and heartbreakingly human, The Lost Generation invites you to see the past not as a parade of headlines, but as the shadowed lives in between.
