An account of the make-shift, impromptu truce between German and English soldiers on the front lines during World War I.
This was a very interesting magazine article that has been padded to make a book. I felt that I was reading the same material over and over but in slightly different ways.
The most interesting part of this book was the all-too-brief section that indicated that a young Adolph Hitler served in an area where peace broke out during the Christmas holiday and that he had little tolerance for it.
The idea for this book was interesting, but there really wasn't enough original material for a book length manuscript.
