Firstly, Ben Macintyre makes non-fiction read like fiction. The story behind the SAS is so completely interesting, and it was engaging all of the way through. The SAS is the forerunner of all Special Ops unit today.

Max Hastings is another author that makes non-fiction read like fiction. This book did a great job to really streamline the reasons why the Great War started in 1914, and covered all of the activity until 1915.

Some of the short stories were amusing, but too much of the fiction was excerpted from well-known novels. I have to admit that I only skimmed the non-fiction, which makes up the majority of the book.

This was my first historical fiction story. I wasn't planning on reading it at first because I knew historical fiction wasn't my thing but I just kept hearing how great it was and how it kept bringing so many people to tears and that even if you don't like historical fiction you will love this book! So I decided to give it a try and I LOVED it. I think it should be required that everyone read this book, that's how good it was! This was the book that got me into historical fiction.
