Silent Night
The Christmas football match between English and German soldiers on the frontline in 1914 is the stuff of legend. But it was no myth, nor an isolated incident: the desire for peace and reconciliation spread along the Western Front and for a few short days, men from both sides laid down their guns and emerged from their trenches, coming together to share food, gifts, games and carols.
In Silent Night, acclaimed historian Stanley Weintraub reveals the moving truth of this inspiring episode and tells the story of those men whose goodwill and humanity had all too briefly prevailed over the madness of the Great War.
