Silent
Night: The Remarkable 1914 Christmas Truce
by Stanley Weintraub Hardcover
History is peppered with oddments and ironies, and one of the strangest
is this. A few days before the first Christmas of that long bloodletting
then called the Great War, hundreds of thousands of cold, trench-bound
combatants put aside their arms and, in defiance of their orders, tacitly
agreed to stop the killing in honor of the holiday.
That informal truce began with small acts: here opposing Scottish and
German troops would toss newspapers, ration tins and friendly remarks across
the lines; there ambulance parties, clearing the dead from the barbwire
hell of no man's land, would stop to share cigarettes and handshakes. Soon
it spread, so that by Christmas Eve the armies of France, England and Germany
were serenading each other with Christmas carols and sentimental ballads
and denouncing the conflict with cries of "Ã bas la guerre!" and
"Nie wieder Krieg!" The truce was, writes Stanley Weintraub, a remarkable
episode, and though "dismissed in official histories as an aberration of
no consequence" it was so compelling that many who observed it wrote in
near-disbelief to their families and hometown newspapers to report the
extraordinary event.
In the end, writes Weintraub, the truce ended with a few stray bullets
that escalated into total war, and that would fill the air for just shy
of four more Christmases to come. Further, isolated attempts at informal
peacemaking would fail, but what, Weintraub wonders at the close of this
inspired study, would have happened if the soldiers on both sides had refused
to take up arms again? His counterfactual scenarios are intriguing, and
well worth pondering. -- Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com

British which, moreso than the sinking of the Lusitania (which, incidentally,
was carrying munitions and was therefore a valid target for the Germans),
brought America into the war. Dropbears.com |
