Michael Palin’s documentary on the last day of the war was outstanding. The link is to part one of five. The idea that officers led men on meaningless attacks on the morning of the last day knowing that the Armistice didn't take effect until the eleventh hour is mind boggling. I also enjoyed “A Shattered Peace” by David Andelman a book about Versailles and the peace conference. Ho Chi Minh getting radicalized by French communists is one of the amazing stories about how important that treaty was and still is.

Is that Michael Palin from Monty Python?

I guess I’ll have to watch and see for myself ;-)

Thank you
