Freedman paints a haunting picture of bravery, heroism and a Great War, so named because so many nations fought and so many died. Violence explicit in the black and white photographs and first-hand accounts, Freedman draws the reader onto the battlefield and into hardships of war. A must-read for history buffs and those students who think history is boring. Great for reports, includes selected bibliography, index. Recommended by Kathy Nester, Librarian
