Shooting at the Stars: The Christmas Truce of 1914

John Hendrix
Description
Through a letter to his mother, a young soldier on the front lines of World War I tells of the tale of how German and Allied soldiers ceased fire for one incredible night in 1914. Instead of shooting, there was singing. Instead of bombs, there were gifts. During a time when no-mans-land was full of horrific scenes, on this one day, it was filled with peace. How could that be? How could two sides, who couldn’t be MORE different from each other, stop fighting for one day?
