Great War (1914-1918): The Society and Culture of the First World War discussion

Is there anyone in this group reading Solzenitsyn works about WW ONE? What are you thoughts or comments? Interested to know. Mel

They're sitting at home; I'll use this topic once they're currently being read.

I’ve read August 1914 twice a fair while ago. I thought it’s descriptions of Tannenberg from the view of the individuals involved simply brilliant. I’ve had November 1916 on my TBR stack for years and have now added March 1917 which are rising to the top of my pond.

Thanks for the word up on "March 1917: The Red Wheel, Node III, Book 1" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. (I just placed my order with Amazon.)

For years, I had heard that this work had yet to be translated into English - though an English language edition was expected to come out at some "indeterminate point in the near future."

It seems I will be following in your footsteps as to reading the rest of this triad of books.

Are their an book, fiction or memoirs about the russian front

My novel, Rivka's War, takes place on the Russian front. It is based loosely on the women's battalion led by Maria Bochkareva. The book can be ordered through Amazon or Barnes & Noble.com.
