I had the same experience, and it was almost irritating. It should be reported to the publisher, I guess, although that's never gotten any results in the past for me. Too often I wish that a representative of the publisher would actually read an ebook before it is published.
Although I finished the book, I've been too busy to mull it over as it deserves. But I'm very glad I read it. The descriptions of the battles and life in the trenches was hard to read.
I needed a break but wanted to stay with the Great War, so I immediately began reading Of Love and War by the historian Paul Doherty. It is a mystery set immediately after the war, but with flashbacks of life in the trenches. It was as though Eksteins wrote about what happened and Doherty wrote 'and here's an example'. Powerful. In fact, I now need a couple of days R&R from the Great War to replenish my Kleenex supply and think of something pleasant.
