Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Literary Digest, History of the World War, Compiled From Original and Contemporary Sources, Vol. 10 of 10: American, British, French, German, and Others
Of him and of the present work, George Douglas said in The San Francisco Bulletin - Twenty years from now Mr. Hal sey's work will stand with no more needed than the addition Of some necessary foot-notes as more and more of the truth is divulged. The main thing is to get intelligently interested in the war, interested in something more than its butchery tho that should be ever present in the mind. People who forget its horrors are apt to become as warped in their judgment as those who seem to have eliminated all consciousness of the fact that there was a war in which millions Of men lost their lives, and who can not see that there will be other wars in the future unless something be done to prevent them when the horrors of the great struggle that has just passed are still fresh in the mind. Not a question concerning the war but is dealt with in these pages, and upon all there is the fullest information. Halsey writes as an American and an ally. He is fair, very fair, in dealing with the enemy; but he is just, as he under stands justice. Yet he is not one Of those historians who write for the purpose Of maintaining national animosities.
