Silent Night: The Remarkable 1914 Christmas Truce
Stanley Weintraub
In the early months of WWI, on Christmas eve, men on both sides of the
trenches laid down their arms and joined in a spontaneous celebration with
the enemy. For a brief, blissful time, a world war stopped. Throughout
his narrative, Weintraub uses the stories of the men who were there to
illuminate the fragile truce.
