For those aficienado's of World War 1 history this is one of the best books available. It is also a gateway to learning about what our relations went through during the conflict and why they never spoke of the horrors they saw. At first I thought it was strange publishing it in the format by which it appears. However, when going through the book there are panoramic photogrpahs of the battlefields and the same areas as they are now. I thoroughly recommend this book for any bookshelf.
