By the end of 1914, World War I raged along hundreds of miles of trenches in Europe. But on Christmas Eve, soldiers on both sides began laying down their arms. In the days that followed, most of the fighting stopped and bitter enemies treated each other as friends to mark the special day. How did the fierce fighting on a bloody battlefield suddenly cease? And what was the enduring legacy of this short-lived peace? Find out in an easy-to-read graphic novel that reveals why the Christmas truce of World War I is among the greatest moments in history.
