Anthony Seldon embarks on a 35-day pilgrimage from the French-Swiss border to the English Channel, motivated by the vision of a young British soldier, Alexander Douglas Gillespie. Gillespie dreamed of creating a walking route, the ''Via Sacra'', to honour those lost in the First World War. After discovering Gillespie's forgotten plan, Seldon retraces this 1,000 kilometre journey, exploring themes of memory, loss and the importance of remembrance in modern Europe. This book reflects on his personal quest for meaning while connecting with historical legacy.
