Ever wondered what the lives of the unidentified soldiers buried at the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington National Cemetery were like? In 1917, the United States entered World War. I, the war to end all wars. One of the most famous American divisions in the war was the 42nd Rainbow Division. An integral part of that division was the 167th Alabama. This story follows what could have been the experiences and lives of those men that fought galliantly and bravely in some of the fiercest fighting along the Western Front. This coming of age story follows a young man from a small Southwest Alabama town that goes out into the world to find adventure and finds himself and his friends in the middle of the fighting.

My Review: I am very picky and almost never read books focused on a war, but luckily WW1 is what I had the most history on and went for it. I was quite surprised by this book and actually came to really enjoy it. 

I like anything where you take something that we already know about in some fashion and then give it a twist by making it a retelling from a whole new POV or simply just like here, what we thought it would've been like to be there and experience it. 

It's different, refreshing and won't bore you like that history class. 

 

If you're looking to add to your collection or want that new POV then go ahead and get this book on your TBR, you won't regret it.
