Back Over There: One American Time-Traveler, 100 years Since the Great War, 500 Miles of Battle-Scarred French Countryside, and Too Many Trenches, Shells, Legends, and Ghosts to Count by Richard Rubin

msmandrake's review against another edition

4.0

Interesting saga of the author's pursuit of WWI sites in France. I wish he could go back and retrace his steps and film it all. Fascinating how you can still go back and find yourself a live shell in the ground with barely any effort. One hundred years and another war notwithstanding. His passion for this subject is palpable. As example, after seeing graffiti carved by American soldiers sheltering in a chalk mine, he researched every single one and found out what became of them.
