This review is from: Now It Can Be Told (Paperback)
This book should be required reading for all high school seniors. A course should be taught on the follies and horrors of war, with this book at the core. A course that teaches that all men are brothers in the end. Gibbs has done an amazing job here of describing World War I. Everything, from the mud and slime, bits of decomposed bodies, stupidity of G.H.Q. and those who ran the war, misguided patriotism, to the questioning of the Christianity of both sides, that could lead to such butchering of young men. 900,000 in England alone! And only 20 years later . . . . Giibbs knew it would happen. How?

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for WWI, January 5, 2011
This review is from: Now It Can Be Told (Paperback)
Gibbs was an official British war reporter on the Western Front, and several volumes of his dispatches were published during the course of the war. THIS volume, which I originally came across in a used book store in Christchurch, New Zealand, was published after the war. In it Gibbs, who was knighted for his reporting, speaks free of the censors and his real concerns about morale and "national security". The writing fuses his admiration and support of the troops with what he actually saw and felt. It's a stunning introduction to how the struggle, especially on the Somme and in the Ypres Salient, was viewed during and just after the war.

This review is from: Now It Can Be Told (Hardcover)
I recommend this book for anyone who can read. I knew very little about WW1 other than vague impressions about "trenches" etc. This book prompted me to read other books on the subject. It is very hard to put down, and it will change you forever once you read it. I think it should be mandatory reading for students.
