Publisher's Synopsis
The Drama of Three Hundred & Sixty-Five Days- Scenes In The Great War is a classic World War One history text by Hall Caine. Mr. Maeterlinck has lately propounded the theory that what we call World War One is neither more nor less than the visible expression of a vast invisible conflict. The unseen forces of good and evil in the universe are using man as a means of contention. On the result of the struggle the destiny of humanity on this planet depends. Is the Angel to prevail? Or is the Beast to prolong his malignant existence? The issue hangs on Fate, which does not, however, deny the exercise of the will of man. Mystical and even fantastic as the theory may seem to be, there is no resisting its appeal. A glance back over the events of the past year leaves us again and again without clue to cause and effect. It is impossible to account for so many things that have happened. We cannot always say, "We did this because of that," or "Our enemies did that because of the other." Time after time we can find no reason why things happened as they have--so unaccountable and so contradictory have they seemed to be.
