Rec books about WWI?

[mightymads]

I’d like to expand my knowledge on WWI which is quite rusty, to be honest. The last time I studied anything about it properly was at school, and that was about 15 years ago. Until I read Arthur Conan Doyle: A Life in Letters, it was but a historical event for me as the history program at my school wasn’t particularly strong. It was something from the textbooks, and that was all. The letters made me realise how tragic it was. They gave the sense of “immediate presence” and the taste of how it affected one particular family. So now I’d like to know more.

Sorry you couldn't comment on my blog, but I'm delighted you liked the photos. It's a personal account, so only shows some of what we saw, but hopefully gives an idea of what it's like now.
