It’s 1914 and the great powers of Europe are on the brink of war. In Holbeck, Leeds, the Keeton family struggles to get by on their meagre wages. The six Keeton brothers couldn’t be more different, but the outbreak of World War I puts their lives on hold and sets them on a course of destruction. Danny Keeton drags his identical twin brother Charlie off to war with the idea that this will be one great adventure. At the tender age of fourteen, he soon discovers war is no place for boys. With the sadistic Sergeant Archibald Braddock and the tender Corporal Nathan Dettmer alongside them, the only goal is to stay alive long enough to make it back home. But how many of the brothers will survive the first brutal year of the bloodiest conflict in human history? *** Remember to check out my original Made in Yorkshire series, where you can meet the offspring of many of the characters featured here. It all starts with 1964 (Made in Yorkshire Book 1), which you can own for free today!

Ok - nothing real special By Amazon Customer A recent Kindle edition freebie.Tells the story of some underclass British boys who join the army in 1914 to go fight the Germans. Most of this work tells the story of their bleak lives just before joining the army and their even bleaker lives in the army.None of the story is very pleasant to read, and I suspect that part of it is pretty realistic.Some of the military stuff is a little harder to buy into. Corporals keep referring to themselves as commanding officers and other little things that seem unlikely keep popping up.So, I gave it 3 stars. It was readable. It had a lot of potential but it never quite developed that potential to become a better book.
12 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely wonderful read. By Rosemary M. Goddard The year is 1914 and there is a war going on. Most young boys during this time period have given up on school to go to work in factories. The characters in this book Danny and Charlie, twins from a family of 6 boys whose father has passed away, are no exception. They spend their day peddling cigarettes and getting into trouble. Reading this book you can tell that the author put a lot of time into researching this period of world history. The characters are well developed as is the story line. Anyone who likes to read about historical fiction from this time period will enjoy reading this book.
16 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully Told! By Kevin Lintner "1914" is a fantastic book. It seems World War I has all but been forgotten when it comes to historical fiction. The Revolutionary War gained the US its freedom from England, the Civil War brought an end to slavery, Word War II will forever be remembered for the horrors of the holocaust, and Vietnam is the war that divided a nation. Not too many people talk about World War I, it is usually not more than a paragraph on a history textbook. Yet there were 37 million casualties of war making it one of the most devastating wars in world history.James Farmer captures that desperation and terror perfectly from life as civilians to the brutality of the killing fields. "1914" is incredibly well written with richly developed characters, believable dialogue and a story line that keeps you engaged all the way to the end. There are many more books in "The War Years" series and I am going to read them all as time permits.
