The color fortis picture is of Gen. Pershing, and has been repaired. This book is believed to be a first edition because the copyright date and printing date are the same. A-2
Extended Description and Notes
Foreword: This volume attempts to encompass the causes of the great conflict, the chief happenings of military and political importance during the bloodiest four years of the world history, and their results and their effects upon the nations involved. An earnest endeavor has been made to take the reader through the most important phases. The limitation of this work to one volume makes the giving of exhaustive details of every incident, every battle, every siege, every advance or retreat an impossibility. But in this very limitation lies the book's greatest value.
Devotion of time to research has been given that its facts may be accurate. It contains no statements based on rumors, no accounts taken from unauthoritative sources.
