Silent Night: The Story of World War I Christmas Truce
Source: Amazon
Author: Miranda Carter
Country: United Kingdom
- From an Amazon reader: "In 1914, as the Great War turned from a glorious adventure into a grinder of human meat, something unexpected and beautiful happened. When Christmas Eve arrived, quite against orders, peace mysteriously broke out. In many places along No-Man's Land, soldiers from the opposing armies mingled, traded trinkets, sang songs, and even played impromptu soccer matches. This is the story of that all too brief interlude in that human tragedy that was the First World War." (2001)
