I do enjoy my historical stories of the brave men and women who fight for our freedom. Although, most of my reading has been surrounding WWII. Thus the reason I wanted to check this book out as I am not as familiar with WWI. I really appreciated all of the pictures and snippets of letters and communications involving the author's father. This helped to bring me closer to Johnny. As well as gave me visual insight into life back then both in the war and civilian. The doughboys really had a show more dangerous job being up in the trenches and the front line. This is a quick read. Yet, despite all of the pictures and the subject matter, I did not find myself as closely engaged in this story as a whole. However, it was an enjoyable read. If a reader wanted to get a glimpse into what it was like fighting in WWI, then this would be a book worth checking out. show less
