three stories that had to be told

After a reading a book of lighthearted PG Wodehouse tales, I wanted something different. And I found it in this amazing book I found at Borders. It's called "Unknown Soldiers". It's a nonfiction book about the life of three soldiers that died during World War One, but were never found. Three of hundreds of thousands who died from explosions so terrible that, as the author writes, they simply vanished, who disappeared in the middle of a terrible war. But the three of them had left something behind: letters containing their thoughts, hopes and accounts of being in the midddle of battle.

In the book we get to know an American soldier, a German soldier and a British soldier.Three young men who vanished, but that through this book, live again.
The unknown soldiers are unknown no more. This is one great book.
