Review of Christmas in the Trenches


The (positive) response to this piece on PRX got my attention - I'm the 7th reviewer - this story about WWI soldiers calling time out in the trenches is a lovely, telling story - but certainly not "little-known" over here - there's even a holiday season film out about it this year. Are we in the US really that unaware of what war is? I will say that I think it's a nice, thoughtful piece for the holidays - and I love the song featured - but I agree with other reviewers that it's too bad the interview is over the phone - but the information is useful.
