Summary

Dive into the incredible history of WWI with these gripping stories.

With a unique and fascinating glimpse into the lesser-known stories of the War to End All Wars, this riveting book unveils four thrilling stories from the trenches, seas, skies, and desert of a war-torn world. From one captain’s death-defying mission to smuggle weapons for an Irish rebellion to heroic pilots and soldiers from all corners of the globe, these stories shed light on real people and events from one of the greatest conflicts in human history.

  • WWI: Tales from the Trenches, a sweeping and eerily realistic narrative which explores the struggles and endless dangers faced by soldiers in the trenches during the heart of WWI
  • Broken Wings, a powerful and heroic story about one pilot after he was shot down and spent 72 harrowing days on the run deep behind enemy lines
  • Mission to Ireland, which explores the devious and cunning plan to smuggle a ship loaded with weapons to incite an Irish rebellion against the British
  • And Journey into Eden, a fascinating glimpse into the lesser-known battles on the harsh and unforgiving Mesopotamian Front

World War I reduced Europe’s mightiest empires to rubble, killed 20 million people, and cracked the foundations of our modern world. In its wake, empires toppled, monarchies fell, and whole populations lost their national identities.

Each of these stories brings together unbelievable real-life WWI history, making them perfect for casual listeners and history buffs alike. If you want to peer into the past and unearth the incredible stories of the brave soldiers who risked everything, then this book is for you.

A great collection of shortish stories

World War One.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily left this honest review.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have read some of the stories before but this in no way decreased my enjoyment.
All the tales in this volume are really entertaining.

appaling narration

at least learn to pronounce words correctly I you're going to narrate a book. Agincourt and Plough are not that difficult and Hertfordshire......oh please. the book is written as if teaching a ten year old about ww1, I'm no scholar on yhe subject but struggled to get through the first 4 chapters before ditching it.
