Truce: The Day the Soldiers Stopped Fighting

Truce: The Day the Soldiers Stopped FightingTruce: The Day the Soldiers Stopped Fighting by Jim Murphy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another very good non-fiction book from Jim Murphy--this time about the First World War. Murphy does a very good job explaining how the war began, without getting too complicated. There are actual photos and some illustrations of both sides, which brings this war to life. The remarkable truce that happened on a cold Christmas Eve during the fighting, is a remarkable story.
