Customer Reviews

An excellent companion to your favorite WWI book or movie.

My favorite storybook is "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque; my favorite real account of WW1 is "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman. Most books and movies do not let you touch the time as well as this book, "World War I in 100 Objects" by Peter Doyle, not to be confused with books of almost the same name. The pictures are well taken. Many of the objects look like they went through a little wear and were found for this presentation. But pictures alone do not make a book. The verbal descriptions add more dimensions to what we are viewing. With only one hundred objects to choose from, I am sure some of your favorites might not be there. But you may find some new favorites.
