The Christmas Truce of 1914

Kevin Carson relates one of the most remarkable stories I know: The Christmas Truce of 1914, "a spontaneous soldiers’ truce that broke out on Christmas Eve all along the Western Front in France, lasting in places until the day after Christmas."

I had a book about this which I stupidly lent out and it never returned. It's called Silent Night by Stanley Weintraub. I think it was made into a movie also.
