A Great Conflict Recalled in Previously Unpublished Letters, Diaries, Documents and Memoirs

A moving and evocative recreation of 1914 - the beginning of the First World War and the year when the world changed for ever

It was on the Western Front that the First World War was lost and won. Covering the whole war, from the guns of August 1914 to the sudden silence of November 1918, this work reveals what life was really like for the men and women who took part.

During Christmas 1914, in a war already famous for its horror and brutality, enemy shook hands with enemy in No Man's Land, exchanged souvenirs, even played football. The truce between the trenches extended over at least two-thirds of the British line and there were similar cease-fires in the French and Belgian sectors. In some areas the peaceable mood lingered well into 1915. Originally published in 1984, this book is one of the finest accounts ever assembled on one of the most overlooked stories of World War I.
