In this meticulously researched anthology, Jerry Silverman uses the popular music of the World War I (1912-1919) to provide a thorough overview of the political and socialmilieu of the times as well as a sense of the futility of war. Extensive historical notes and period photographsenhance this collection of 59 songs chosen for their musical value as much as for their historical significance. Silvernman writes, There were two parallel streams ofsongs beingcreated during the course of 'the war to end all wars'-one by the soldiers 'over there' and the other bysongwriters 'over here'.
