Reviews
"Richard Rubin has written the most riveting and astonishing book about World War I that I have read in a decade. No matter what you think about that terrible conflict, this book will lift up your heart, not only about the war but about being an American. It's unique!" - Thomas Fleming, author of The Illusion of Victory: America in World War I "Richard Rubin has performed an extraordinary feat of World War I sleuthing. He has managed to track down numerous centenarians - centenarians! - who fought in the trenches and has skillfully resurrected their memories in a way that brings that now sepia-toned conflict into focus as sharp as a bayonet. Rubin refers to these doughboys as 'the forgotten generation.' Yet he brings them back unforgettably. And his book is addictively readable." - Joseph E. Persico, author of Roosevelt's Centurions: FDR and the Commanders He Led to Victory in World War II "Richard Rubin has done something that will never be possible for anyone to do again. His interviews with the last American World War I veterans - who have all since died - bring to vivid life a cataclysm that changed our world forever but that remains curiously forgotten here. And his research and battlefield visits help us picture the background to the survivors' stories." - Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918, "Richard Rubin has written the most riveting and astonishing book about World War I that I have read in a decade.
