Book Review of A Soldier of the Great War

A Soldier of the Great War


This was my 2nd reading of this book. I had an odd sensation while reading it that I was reading individual 'scenes' of a mans life, with fade-outs. Each of the scenes was sensational in action and some more vivid than others. Very skilled writing, however by my age I think I've read enough heady books to be able to say that even though it is a beautifully written book I wish the editor had taken out a good half of the lengthy ruminations in it. It would still have been a 5-star book.
