5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book about a fascinating time,
By
This review is from: A Stillness Heard Round the World: 2 (Hardcover)
Though maybe not as well organized as one might like, this book contains much absorbing information on the last days of the First World War. It starts by telling of the False Armistice, then on to the meeting in the Forest, the 72 hours before the signing, the events in Germany, the Kaiser's going to Holland, the signing, the last shots, and the celebrations. There is much poignancy, and little things reduced me to tears. The material is gathered from accounts of people who were there and numerous memoirs and secondary sources. The book also tells of fiction treating the events--for instance, Parade's End, by Ford Madox Ford (which I read 7 Sept 1984 and did not like). This book is an enjoyable book to read about a fantastic time: November 1918.
