As I recall from the movie, when Longstreet says to him, "You people had your own civil war, didn’t you?’ Fremantle opens his reponse with a breezy, “Oh, that.” Funny line, nicely delivered by the actor.
WW1 history book

Looking for the best book on WW1. Any recommendations
-
History only or books in general?
The Guns of August comes to mind.
So does All Quiet on the Western Front.
Enjoy!
-
All quiet on the western front is a great work.
Thanks
seems that ww1 was a real mess… like everyone was mad at each other, just to blow steam off. Crazy war.

@eisenhower John Keegan’s The First World War is a good read. I enjoyed Storm of Steel.

Go to a good size library, they might have the 20 Vol.
series of History of the First World War by Marshall
Candelvish Publications(they did the W.W.2 series).
Pictures, illustrations, charts, graphs, side articles of W.W.I,
written by the generation who went thru it, and, the ones
afterwards.
Your library might have a loaner series, to take a book home,
or, order it thru the state library system.
I read my series at Buffalo Main Branch at the turn of the
century, took me under two years to go thru the whole series
of books.
Impossible one does not get a feel for The Great War, much
less ideals for House Rules, thanks, Pellulo
