From the Publisher
Thousands of young men died every day in the trenches of WWI as Christmas approached. And then came the remarkable "Christmas Truce" when soldiers on both sides rose from their trenches and greeted each other in "No Man’s Land," a field littered with barbed wire and frozen corpses.
For two days, the guns of war were silent as men who had shot at each other only hours before, after defying officers, laid down their weapons to exchange gifts and traditions. This story is told in Silent Night, Holy Night: The Story of the Christmas Truce, a new book with CD, narrated by Walter Cronkite, accompanied by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. The Silent Night, Holy Night book, CD, VHS and DVD are available. The common bond of Christmas was shared in a spontaneous celebration that culminated in the singing of the beloved carol "Silent Night" in many languages. Other carols were sung and soccer was even played in No Man’s Land.
Walter Cronkite narrates this true story of amazing brotherhood, in the midst of war, and is accompanied by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. The narration is followed by the Choir’s singing of "Silent Night, Holy Night." A highlight of the performance came when Cronkite conducted the Choir in the "Hallelujah Chorus." The entire concert and the narration of "The Christmas Truce" are captured on DVD and VHS.
