After five years of work, my book has finally been published.  It was supposed to be out on Nov. 11th - Armistice Day - but Amazon has jumped the gun and everyone else has followed.  Amazon.uk says it will be available Nov. 30th.
 
The book examines the myths that have developed about the Christmas truce and uses them to challenge the conventional narrative of the First World War. No cliff-hanger endings, but if you would like to read an iconoclastic approach to the war, you might enjoy it.
 
And because all roads lead to prog, it even contains a Yes reference as an epigraph:

Congrats! I do love myself a good history book, so I'd love to check it out. Will it be in any bookstores or just online?

It is available in bookstores and libraries but I have no idea who is stocking it, so you probably can get your local bookstore to order one if you ask nicely.
 
and thanks, everyone. I am pleased and yes, a little bit proud too.

I suppose you speak of that football match between the British and German soldiers that they played in Comines-Warneton (Beligum) during the first winter of WW1
