Summary:
"Lest We Forget: The Great War is a fitting tribute to the memory of those who served during World War I. Each print in the book is a story within itself and the narrative and accompanying photos are extraordinarily informative. Within the chronology and 'traditional' recitation of the war's progress are outstanding discussions of the campaigns outside the Western Front (a true world war), conscription, the impact of the influenza epidemic, and many other special topics." Review by General David Bramlett, US Army (Retired)
