Opis

Exactly a century ago, the soldiers on both sides of the opposing lines came out of the trenches, sang and played football, sometimes for more than a week. It was one of the strangest, most inspiring, most controversial but spontaneous acts of war. But there remain unanswered, and sometimes uncomfortable, questions. This book uses first-hand accounts to answer some of them and explain why these extraordinary events took place.
