The book Echoes of Armageddon, 1914-1918 is the end result of the author's
extensive research on the lives and deaths of eight British soldiers. Each
chapter of this book describes the life and death of one of these soldiers.
Each chapter also expands on the bigger picture surrounding each battle or
campaign that this individual participated. The cumulative result tells the
personal story of an individual while also illustrating the greater context
and significance of this soldier's actions and sacrifice.

Echoes of Armageddon, 1914-1918 is both informative and educational. Not
enough can be said about the great lengths that this author has gone to
research each of these individuals. Basically, the author started with the
names of eight individuals. He then had to find living relatives of each
individual not only to find out personal information and stories about this
individual but also to release the war records of these eight soldiers. As
many of the surviving relatives had moved, married, or simply long forgotten
such details this was no small task. Stubbornly, the author persisted and
succeeded in finding living relatives of all of these eight individuals,
collected many personal stories, and even managed to get photographs of most
of the soldiers. The author then masterfully pieced his research into the
greater context of World War I.
