Boston: Houghton Mifflin. Very Good. 1916. Hardcover. Xx, 295, [2] pages, 60 plates, cloth, very good. From the Wikipedia website: "When war broke out in 1914, the American Colony of Paris organized an "ambulance" ---the French term for a temporary military hospital--- just as it had done in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 when the "American Ambulance" had been under tents set up near the Paris home of its founder, the celebrated Paris-American dentist, Dr. Thomas W. Evans. The "American Ambulance" of 1914 took over the premises of the unfinished Lycée Pasteur in the suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine--- and was run by the nearby American Hospital of Paris. The volunteer drivers of 1914 found themselves behind the wheels of motorized, not horse-driven, vehicles: Model-Ts, purchased from the nearby Ford plant in Levallois-Perret. In the fall of 1914, when the warfront moved away from Paris, the American Ambulance set up an outpost in Juilly and sent out detached units of volunteer drivers to serve informally with the British and Belgian armies in the north. In early 1915, one of those drivers---A. Piatt Andrew--- was appointed "Inspector of Ambulances" by the head of the American Ambulance, one of his colleagues from the Taft Administration. In April 1915, Andrew succeeded in solliciting an agreement from the French High Command authorizing "foreign sanitary sections" to work at the warfront as part of the French Army Automobile Service This marked the formal beginning of the American Ambulance's Field Service, three units of which would made their mark during battles in northern France, the Champagne, Verdun and the Vosges. By the summer of 1916, the Field Service severed its ties with the American Ambulance and moved its operations from cramped quarters in Neuilly to Paris, onto the spacious grounds of the Delessert château at 21 rue Raynouard in the Passy. There, it grew rapidly over the next year, continuing to provide "sanitary sections" to the French Army, while also serving as a recruitment source of combat pilots for the newly-formed Escadrille Lafayette], one of whose prime movers, Dr. Edmond Gros, was the Field Service's in-house physician. When the United States entered the war in April of 1917, the French Army successfully appealed to the Field Service for drivers for its military transport sections --- and so, no longer limited to medical transport, the organization renamed itself the "American Field Service", thus establishing today's well-know acronym, "AFS". Before the AFS was absorbed into the much larger, federalized U. S. Army Ambulance Service, it had numbered more than 2500 volunteers, including some 800 drivers of French military transport trucks. It had actively recruited its drivers from the campuses of American colleges and universities, promoting morale by creating units with volunteers from the same schools. All financed their own uniforms and transportation to France where they worked under the same conditions as French ambulance drivers--- with the same pay--- and often found themselves serving under extremely dangerous missions on the Front. By the end of the war, some 127 men who had served with the AFS were killed and a notable number of individuals and units earned the Croix de Guerre and the Médaille de Guerre for their heroic actions as drivers.

New York: William Morrow & Co.. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. First Edition. Hard Cover. 0688082262 . 557 pages, 12 plates, maps, cloth, dj, fine. 1st edition. From the publisher: At the outbreak of war in 1914, Imperial Germany virtually defined the nature of professional warfare. Germany's wealth, productivity, technology and manpower all contributed to her military pre-eminence. But the heart and soul of Germany's military superiority was the Great General Staff, which, in 1916, came under the leadership of Hindenburg and Ludendorff - the ultimate strategic partnership. Robert Asprey's unique contribution to the history of the First World War follows the careers of these two superbly trained generals to the point where they literally controlled the destiny of an entire nation. Chronicling major battles in vivid detail, this book covers all the primary strategic developments of the war, up to and including the final offensive on the western front, and represents the first assessment of that colossal conflict from the point of view of the German High Command. . more information

His stage plays 'Dracula' and 'Frankenstein' (both 1931) were both adapted into classic horror movies. Among the famous books he adapted to screen are "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937) and "Gaslight" (1944). He was also one of the numerous writers employed by David O. Selznick to work on the adaptation of "Gone With the Wind" (1939). Balderston was the recipient of two Academy Award nominations - for "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer" in 1935 and for "Gaslight"." . more information

From the dust jacket: "It is now eighty years since the First World War ended, eighty years since the survivors of that conflict returned to Britain to re-build their lives. Of the six million who saw action, fewer than 4,000 are still alive today, all but a couple hundred of them unknown to the wider world. "Veterans, The Last Survivors of the Great War", accompanies the two part BBC1 documentary of the same name, broadcast in November 1998. It is the last tribute to the soldiers of that war, made by the veterans themselves. Many, talking openly for the first time about their experiences, give powerful, first person testimony, a final insight into the war which has shaped this century. The stories, moving and heartbreaking, funny and perceptive, tell the story of how a new, volunteer army went to war in 1914 to fight at the battles of Loos, the Somme, and Passchendaele. The vivid recollections of life at the front are made more poignant still by the stories of life at home. Nurses tell of caring for the wounded, a munitions worker of working in the factories. But perhaps most moving of all is the testimony from the children who lost fathers, and a girl who lost her fiancee. This book is illustrated with a unique collection of private photographs published here for the first time, as well as many rarely seen before. " B30-5 ; 208 pages . more information

He with Georgette Heyer founded the Regency romantic genre; one of his first books, The Broad Highway, has been issued in a version edited by Barbara Cartland. He was born in Aston, Birmingham, and brought up in London and Kent. He attended the Westminster Art School, after he had lost his job in a Birmingham metal-working firm. In 1900, he married Blanche Hawley, daughter of the noted New York scenic artist Hughson Hawley; they moved to the United States, where he found work as a scene painter. The success of his early novels led Farnol to become a professional writer; he returned to England around 1910, and settled on the south coast. He produced around 40 novels and volumes of stories, and some non-fiction and children's books. He died after a long battle with cancer.

From Kirkus Reviews: "As the 20th century draws to a close, Ferguson renders a brilliant reassessment of one of the century's most far-reaching and tragic wars, the First World War. Ferguson unpacks the terror and tragedy of the war while demolishing widely held beliefs about it. One of these was that the war was an inevitable result of regnant imperialism and militarism: Ferguson argues trenchantly that the trend in Europe in 1914 was away from militarism and that German feelings of growing military weakness started the war. Ferguson also contends that equivocal British policies in Europe and failure to maintain a credible army to back up its continental commitments, among other factors, led Britain needlessly to transform a continental conflict into a world war. Ferguson also establishes that until the collapse of the German leadership's morale in late 1918, Germany was actually winning the war by any important measure though vastly economically inferior to Britain, Germany had defeated three of the Entente powers and came close to defeating France, Britain, and Italy. Moreover, Ferguson contends, because of the tactical excellence of its armies, Germany was far more efficient then the Entente powers at inflicting casualties on its enemies until the very end of its failed 1918 offensive. The author also attacks the common view that the masses greeted the war enthusiastically in 1914. He scrutinizes in depth the propaganda war, the often draconian suppression of dissent in the belligerent countries, the soldiers' diverse and often banal motives for fighting, and shifting combatant attitudes toward surrender, which, he asserts, was a risky act, since both sides routinely killed surrendering men. Changing attitudes toward surrender may have contributed to the final collapse of German form. In the end, Ferguson concludes, WWI was not unavoidable, but ``the greatest error of modern history. '' Moving, penetrating, eye-opening, and lucidly reasoned. An important work of historical analysis. " B36 ; 563 pages . more information

From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, 'Erich Ludendorff (1865-1937) German general. A disciple of Schlieffen, he served in World War I as chief of staff to Field Marshal Hindenburg and was largely responsible for German military decisions. After Hindenburg became supreme military commander in 1916, Ludendorff also intervened in civilian rule. In 1917 he forced Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg to resign; his successors were subordinate to the military leaders. When the German military offensive collapsed (Aug., 1918), Ludendorff demanded an armistice (Sept. 29, 1918). Several days later he was dismissed by the new government of Maximilian, prince of Baden and fled to Sweden. Returning in 1919, he took part in the ultranationalist Kapp putsch (1920) and in the “beer-hall putsch” (1923) of Adolf Hitler. He was acquitted in the subsequent trial, was a National Socialist member of the Reichstag (1924–28), and ran unsuccessfully for president in 1925. Meanwhile, he and his second wife, Mathilde, were proponents of a new “Aryan” racist religion. Ludendorff wrote pamphlets accusing the pope, the Jesuits, the Jews, and the Freemasons of a common plot against Aryans. Later he became alienated from Hitler. His writings include Ludendorff’s Own Story (tr. 1919) and The General Staff and Its Problems (tr. 1920).' . more information

With a foreword by General Lord Horne of Stirkoke: "It was therefore a great satisfaction to me upon my arrival from the battlefields of the Somme in the autumn of 1916 to find Major Hesketh-Pritchard's School firmly established in the First Army area, thanks in a great measure to the support and encouragement of Lieut. -General Sir Richard Haking, the Commandant of the Eleventh Corps. From that time onwards, owing chiefly to the energy, enthusiasm, tact and personality of its Commandant, the influence of the Sniping, Observation and Scouting School spread rapidly throughout the British Forces in France. Of its ups and downs, of its troubles and successes, and of its ultimate triumph, Major Hesketh-Pritchard tells the tale with modesty typical of the man." B20-4; 269 pages . more information
