The Tomb

Reviews

“Anyone with the slightest interest in military tradition should find Philip Bigler’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: A Century of Honor, 1921-2021 (Apple Ridge, 400 pp. $24.95, paper) an entertaining historical read of the highest caliber. This informative treasure is a work of love. Bigler’s association with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier began in 1983 when he served for three years as one of the official historians at Arlington National Cemetery. The contacts he established there led him to write a history of that famed cemetery. The approach of the Tomb’s hundredth anniversary impelled Bigler to do extensive research on every aspects of its history.” Read the complete review here

“There is nothing to "not like" about this book. By far, this is the most complete and comprehensive book on the origin and continuing history of our nation's most sacred shrine. A must for all, and should be mandatory reading for all who wears the uniform of an American Service-member. Phil Bigler knocked it out of the ball park!” Reggie Mason (TGIB 239)
