Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks World War I novel with beautiful, yet devastating, moments in a terrible war. Scenes in mine shafts with men who are factory workers, bookkeepers, or just boys - some of the passages were ones I wish more world leaders had read - just to remind themselves of the reality.I found it to be a good book, great in parts - but the flash-forwards to the 1970's and the romantic attempt fell flat and kept it from being something great.
