this was this month's pick for book club, I really really tried my hardest to enjoy reading It, but for all my best efforts I have had to give up.I aren't a great lover of factual books anyway unless it is something I really really love. but the way he has written it was far too text bookish for me and I found it too hard to keep my concentration on it.

Not so much a book about war, but more about what was going on around it in 1914, and the impact. After I finished reading it, I wanted Mark Bostridge to have written another few books - to cover the war in the same way. It was nice [and nice isn't really the word] to read a book that had the background of war, and a hellish one at that, but focused more on what was happening around it.
