Title: Boomer blows it
Review: This is a reductionist view of WW I seen through the eyes of a smug baby boomer who by his own admission has just discovered history. O'Shea has reduced this complex and horrific war--and its major actors--to a simple morality play. The prose is often purple and the tone of the book is self-righteous and contemptuous. I would agree with O'Shea that war is bad, and WW I was especially so, but this book offers no insights beyond these platitudes.
