Minds at War - Strategy Board Game for Adults & Teens - Competitive Tactical War Game for Family Game Nights & Parties

This book sits on the table of my "reading nook." I have turned through its pages, have devoured the poetry of those who were devoured by "the first of the last wars," and each time I put the book down I am in awe of what I have read. Emotions that seem beyond words are, here, wrapped by words so well that one feels the sadness, the hurt, the fury, the emptiness, the cynicism, fatalism - and joy - whispered or shouted here. There are wars, non-stop, but this war, an explosion of political tectonic shifts, was a stagnating horror. And these poems, written by some who were killed or died before the war's end, turns history into reality.And it helps greatly that there is "background" provided for the poems, overviews of what was happening against which the poems take place, so that one can read from start to finish or read as one does books of poems, "here and there." As I'm reading these while reading other books about WWI, this book gives jolting colors to the historical perspectives - and what colors!
