Title: Over the Top
Review: I read this book over ten years ago and it had a place of honor in my library until it disappeared while moving. If one wants to get a 1st hand and what I feel is a fairly accurate view of what soldiering must of been like , this is the one to read about War One ("The War to end all Wars") and the British Army as seen thru American eyes. (Example - How the mess kits were cleaned by using mud.) I can also state that the glossary of terms used by Tommy Atkins was both amusing and informative. Tommy by the way was a very cynical and humorous sort of fellow. While this book is not as good as Robert Graves "Goodbye to all that". Which also is part of my library. On the other hand, Graves could not not write about the others ranks point of view since he was always a Commissioned Officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers. All in all though a very good read and well worth the time if this period of time is your forte.
