This is probably the best book I've read on WW1 (along with "All quiet on the Western Front"). Weaving a tapestry of songs/doggerel, poetry and opinions from the famous (like Siegfried Sassoon, Rudyard Kipling and Apollonnaire), the infamous (like Adolf Hitler), the legendary (like Winston Chruchill), to the unknown (soldiers, captains and villagers), Peter Vansittart has done a wonderful job with this book.

Charting day war era.

A must read book.
