Not Forgotten - Neil Oliver

Another book based on a TV series. When it was on television it was presented by Ian Hislop and centred mainly on the war memorials created after World War I.

The series was captivating and moving and fascinating. The book seemed nothing like the television programmes. Brief chapters without proper linkage or continuity, over sentimental treatment of the stories, which appeared not to be about the heroes (unsung and famous) of the trenches and carnage of the Great War, but more about the author himself. I wanted to find elaboration of the television programmes, depth and breadth, but I found none of that. Rating: 4/10
