dutchbarge Posted 26 November , 2008 Share Posted 26 November , 2008 Lynn MacDonald's 1914. Perhaps a bit romantic and certainly slanted to the British perspective, but a wonderful read nonetheless. I've come back to it many times over the years and it never fails to please. Cheers, BIll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14kvn Posted 26 November , 2008 Share Posted 26 November , 2008 It'd be great to know people's favourite Great War book. I'd have to say Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks is mine, just because of the detailed descriptions of the battles, the trenches and the emotions of the men. A Long, Long Way by Sebastian Barry comes a close second! -Ross Some great books mentioned and I'd have to agree with Birdsong for the Fiction award. A couple of other favourites of mine which I don't think have been mentioned so far. With a Machine Gun to Cambrai by George Coppard The Guns of August by Barbara W.
