Truce - The Day the Soldiers Stopped Fighting

All right, enough about my tiny little corner of the world.

I was browsing through Amazon and came across this gem of a book:

http://www.amazon.com/Truce-The-Soldiers-Stopped-Fighting/dp/0545130492/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355250619&sr=8-1&keywords=truce+the+day+the+soldiers+stopped+fighting

It is the story of a little Christmas miracle during WWI. I have heard similar stories in WWII, and am always touched when the two sides can put down their arms and recollect on the true meaning of Christmas. Even when Americans sing Silent Night (originally a German carol), it reminds us that we're all in this together, regardless of which nation has decided to fight which nation.

This book is highly recommended.
