The Last Day of World War I
The final hour and day of World War I—11 o’clock on November 11, 1918—were decided upon well in advance. Why, then, were more than 13,000 soldiers killed that last morning of the war? Based on Joseph E. Persico’s book 11th Month, 11th Day, 11th Hour, this A&E Special reveals how Allied leaders found outrageous excuses to send thousands of soldiers to their deaths against a defeated enemy. Why did they do it? Rare footage and photos from the conflict’s last hours form a chilling indictment of the horror and pointlessness of war. Distributed by A&E Television Networks. (44 minutes)
