As told by the servicemen themselves
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Over There: The American Experience In World War I by Frank Freidel (Professor of History, Harvard University) presents the sometimes amazing, often horrifying experiences of American soldiers and sailors during World War I, and as told by the servicemen themselves! Extracts from diaries and letters, regimental histories, interviews, and more fill the pages of this detailed and vivid military history. Over There is very highly recommended as an "up-close" look at what it was really like to risk your life in order to "make the world safe for democracy" in the lethal arena of the Great War.

At first, I thought this book was another general survey of World War I. While reading the prose, I felt as if I actually experienced the war. The pictures greatly added to the realistic presentation and my reading enjoyment.
