review 1: This author spent ten years tracking down the last survivors of a horrific and largely forgotten war that fundamentally changed not only how we fought our wars, but how we perceived war as well. Rubin not only talks to men and women from a variety of services, including neglected ones such as the Navy, the Yeomenettes who came before WWII's WACs, the Polar Bears who fought in Russia even after the armistace was signed, and a Harlem Hellfighter; he also puts their stories in context, giving a broader perspective on the war than we've had in a long long time. Highly recommended.
review 2: This is truly one of the most amazing historical books I have ever read. Thank you for remembering World War I. Too many people have forgotten. I, myself, find the history of th... moree first World War fascinating. Richard Rubin makes this book personal, while also telling the stories and truths of WWI. I picked the book up expecting it to be more like a documentary.. a book that would be hard to finish. How wrong I was. If you haven't read it, and you are interested in the history of WWI read it. If you don't know much about WWI read it. You will not regret the time you put into reading this book. less
