This paper examines Denis Miller's Death's Men, a work of social history that illuminates how British soldiers fought in France during World War I. This type of social history helps us get away from the "big picture" and gives us a glimpse of real living history -- seen through the eyes of the men that fought the war. It is precisely in this context that the book could be effectively utilized as a textbook in a European History class, since it would effectively counter-balance the "big picture" picture given by political and national history. 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
