A niche book, but the text is engaging and well written.

I've never been overly interested in the First World War, but I suppose that's only because I don't know much about it. Everyone kind of glosses over that war, and makes a big deal about the second one (not that that one's not important...)

Albert Marrin did a very good job getting me interested in this war. I found a lot of it fascinating, and the individual stories of the different war heroes were great. My list of favorite historical figures has grown exponentially.

Plus, the ending was great. (
