So. Good. The whole thing is just interesting, heartfelt, engaging, NOT overdone, tangents are all just the right length, I can't say enough. And while it's true to the pathos of the war, it's actually full of truly chuckle-worthy one-liners, both from the author's personal narrative and his interviewees. Additionally, it would probably appeal to people not that interested in WWI history if they have an interest in oral history or just life in America at the time of the war.
