Canadian history come to life! This is the first book in the Alford Saga that I have read and wow, history has never been more fascinating and more approachable than this.
We get to see the horrors, every day routine and whatever Eric Alford experiences on the front line. We see history come to life, of the famous and infamous battles, from Vimy Ridge to Passchendaele to other sites we have studied about in history classes. The author has breathed life and meaning behind what goes on behind the front line of battle and the hardships of WWI that everyone, not just Canadians, go through.
The story is very well written and researched. I liked how actual events and transcripts were incorporated into the stories with minimal amounts changed. Definitely a good introduction to a big part of history that Canadians are part of.
