My son wants to study History by studying World War I in depth. Any recommendations?

I've looked around, but with all the stress in our lives right now, I've lost my knack for putting a study together... I'm so scatterbrained... I've only ordered one book, World War I:The Rest of the Story and How It Affects You Today by Richard Maybury (Uncle Eric)...

Bios of flying aces (von Richthofen, Eddie Rickenbacker); Silent Night: The Story of the WWI Christmas Truce; poetry of WWI("In Flanders Fields", for ex.), map studies, photo tours of famous battlefields (Verdun, for example); Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations...

Can you tell we've done a study like this?

Hi Robinhigh,
I don't know your son's age but my older daughters are 13 and 12. We've doing modern history this year and I have LOVED this book. It's full of personal accounts of folks living at that time. It's not specifically WWI but rather covers the 20th century. But I figure if your son wants to cover WWI now, he'll probably follow that with a request to study WWII.      Hope that helps!

Your right, he's planning WWII after... he's 16 and I read some of the stories of that book on Amazon... really interesting! It's on my wish list.

LOL, we used the same book! It is indeed wonderful. I think I got it on Abebooks or Paperback Swap, too - even better.
