Great. Thanks. It’s the darker of the two volumes-—hard to “lighten” two world wars and a depression.
It was a dark tumultuous time for sure. I was a double major—Accounting (for my parents) and History (for me). It has been thirty years since college, I’m anxious to see what’s changed or where I might have been mistaught :) I’m particularly interested in the buildup to WWI and in the war itself. I read John Keegan’s book on WWI in the late 90’s, but haven’t spent much time on that era since. I knew a WWI vet when I was young. He never escaped whatever happened to him in Europe. I have always been fascinated by his life.
