On one level, it is a historical romance; on another a bitter illustration of the effects of war, both on the soldiers and people caught in the crossfire.

版主瞎掰
This sentence presents two things. One is a love story, and the other, a war. Romance means a kind of story involved in love between a man and a woman. The story is based on a war. I don’t know what kind of war mentioned in the sentence. The background history is unknown. It may be the civil war in the United States or the first or second world war.  “ Bitter illustration” means painful presentation. So it's a painful presentation of the impact of a war. On the war, both soldiers and ordinary people are involved in a severe battle. “Crossfire” means gunshots or gunfire around the sky, a typical scene of a war I saw in a movie. I think the background of the sentence is a love story under a sad or tragic war.
