Truce

Truce: The Day the Soldiers Stopped Fighting by Jim Murphy

This is a well researched acount of the Christmas Truce of 1914 during the first winter of World War I.  The author did a great job explaining how the war began and how the armies came to be involved in trench warfare on the Western front.  Photographs and paintings illustrate the true story.

My Thoughts: I loved the pictures and photos!  This was very well written and easy to understand how this unforgettable event unfolded.
