This was a very sobering book. WWI is often neglected in our memories these days, but Guest depicts what it was like to live, love and lose during that time. One cannot help but think about the heavy-heartedness and pain that Americans in the late 1910s felt on a daily basis, and immediately thank God that we have not been asked to endure such hardship--and wonder how we would cope if we did. His portrayal of patriotism and American unity is also a cause for reflection; could America still be such a place?
It is for these reasons--experiencing the events of WWI on a personal level, and being forced to pause and reflect on oneself and the state of the country today--that I would recommend this book. It will challenge you and break your heart, but make you a better person when you come out on the other side. ( )
