Thank you for this comment - I adore the book and once assigned it to first year undergraduate history students along with the movie Gallipoli - the thoughtful papers they wrote were among the best I have ever seen in all my years of teaching, particularly from the young men who had recently registered for the Selective Service (which I was unaware was happening at the same time, because women don't have to sign up for it - but that's another conversation ;-) I like WWI movies in general and now I can go into it not expecting it to follow the book.

It's funny, I haven't read the book in ... 25 years? So I was watching this and thinking "well ... I guess I just don't really remember the book?"
