Guns were silenced, and worldwide the great and small alike celebrated the end of 51 months of fighting.

Rated 5 stars
A great book about a fascinating time

Though maybe not as well organized as one might like, this book contains much absorbing information on the last days of the First World War. It starts by telling of the False Armistice, then on to the meeting in the Forest, the 72 hours before the signing, the events in Germany, the Kaiser's going to Holland, the signing, the last shots, and the celebrations. There is much poignancy, and little things reduced me to tears...
