WHne I was very young, my father gave me a book without a cover. The name of the book was "Fighting the Flying Circus" by Eddie Rickenbacker. I loved it.Alas, as I aged, I ignored "the great war" in favor of WWII and Civil Wars books, and my History teachers did too. I didn't know how ignorant I was until I read "To the Last Man". For example, I had no idea who Lufberry was. I kept wondering---"where's Rickenbacker?"The book has a few flaws and a couple of historical inaccuracies, but overall it does a fine job of presenting America's entry into the war, the air war that included Americans even before the US officially entered the war, and finally, the hell that was created by the amchine gun, the tank, and barbed wire.I highly recommend it.
