Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

    I hate to bug you, but I don't see anything in this post after "Here are our 1915–2015 suggestions:"

    When I reload the page, two broken image icons briefly flash in that space, then disappear.

      Weird. It must be my copy of Chrome. The post showed up just fine on another browser (Opera).

      Thank you for sharing the titles in your comment.

      PS: speaking of 1915, I'm very much looking forward to Pritt Buttar's next book on the eastern front.

    For WW I, I reommend Robert Doughty's Pyrrhic Victory. It is the best of the US versions of WW I and does not lambast the French so much as the British.

    If you have not read The Great War Dawning – about the German side you are really missing out. Check the website for Verlag-Militaria.
