Gary Kelley’s most recent book project, “And the Soldiers Sang,” is a heartwarming and haunting collaboration with J. Patrick Lewis that teaches a very valuable lesson: soldiers on both sides of the fence have very much in common. 

The book illustrates a Christmas Eve in the trenches of WWI where the soldiers on both sides drop their weapons join together for one night to celebrate. Grim, upsetting and utterly beautiful, it is both a strong anti-war statement and a fascinating glimpse of a little-known historical event.

“And the Soldiers Sang” has received glowing reviews from the New York Times, and the National Post among others; buy a copy today in Theispot.com Bookstore.
