Good Points: Well presented. Easy to listen to.
Bad Points: The Audio Book Is Abridged
General comments: Max Arthur's, Forgotten Voices of the Great War is a fantastically inciteful way to live through the experiences of World War 1 through the eyes and ears of the people who were there. This audio book is extremely well presented and extremely easy to listen to. Anyone with an interest in military history who finds it difficult to find the time to sit and read should buy this.

Max Arthur's Forgotten Voices of the Great War is an extremely moving, enlightening book. Yes, detailed are the stories of Christmas time truce but the extra-ordinary way in which the Germans and Allied troops were engaged in battle and moments of friendship also shines through.
A very, at times, harrowing read but one that you cannot ignore. Romanticism and myth busting accounts from people of each side - in war and domestic roles.
Well contexted with not too much history or opinion throw ...
