The Greatest Day in History How on the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month, the First World War Came to an End. by Nicholas Best

I just got finished with The Greatest Day in History by Nicholas best. It was a real enjoyable book. It was about the end of WW1 and where individuals were and what they were experiencing. This book did not only focus on the main general’s and dignitaries, it also mentioned regular soldiers and nurses. I would recommend this book to any one that wants to learn about the armistice, the days leading up to its signing and the immediate aftermath. I believe it would be suitable for late middle school and beyond. A fact I learn from this book was that toward the end of the war Germany was experiencing a Bolshevist (communist) revolution similar to the revolution that deposed the Russian government and put the Communist government in its place. You can buy this book on amazon in paperback for $12.44 or hardcover for $27.95. Barnes and Noble has it in hardcover for $3.99 or paperback for $13.64. The reason the hardcover one is so cheap is because it is on clearance.
