To The Last Man
I just started reading To The Last Man by Jeff Shaara, which is a novelization of WWI, the other "forgotten" war (besides Korea). I find Shaara, most famous for his Civil War works (follwing his father's The Killer Angels), more engrossing, and as accurate as most history texts. WWI is often overlooked in favor of WWII, like the History (Hitler) Channel, which seems to offer mostly WWII-based programming (though I am a 'Modern Marvels' fan as well). However, this may be changing as I saw The Lost Battalion and "The Christmas Peace on there today. In any case, the book jacket boasts To The Last Man as being the best WWI novel since All Quiet On the Western Front, but I haven't heard of any others. It's good so far, really digging in (pardon the pun) to trench warfare.
