| Plot Summary of Christmas Truce: The Western Front December 1914 |
|---|
"The story of the 1914 Christmas Truces as told from many perspectives. Put in the wider framework of recorded truces from previous & subsequent wars, this is a fascinating book; brilliant, entertaining & accessible without any sacrifice of objectivity, nor lapse into sentimentality. Objective throughout, great appendices, all round wonderful!"
