About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked. Binding and front title page are loose. Lettering on the spine is faded. Volume records the history of the first six months of WWI. Photographs and maps throughout. Previous owner's name is on the top outside corner of the front free end paper. From the Introduction, "But it is obviously far too soon to speculate upon the fruits of a war still in its indecisive stage. This volume appears at a moment when each of the war forces is threatening to put forth its most savage and determined efforts to force a determination of the conflict. Millions of men in muddy trenches in snow-bound mountain passes, in arid desert sand, in ruined and desolated towns are looking to spring, not as the happy time of renewed life after winter's rigor, but as the moment when life can be more fiercely sought, more wantonly thrown away."
