This is a very interesting, old book about World War I (The Great War). The book was published in 1917 by George H. Doran Company, New York. The book measures approximately 5 ¾ inches by 8 ¼ inches and contains xvi, 448 pages. The green cloth cover has an embossed, textured finish with the title in gilt on the front and on the spine. The cover shows signs of wear to the edges, corners and to the top and bottom of the spine. The bottom edge of the front cover has a small hole in the cloth. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The book has pictorial end pages. For the most part, the pages show no signs of rips or tears. Several of the leaves in the back of the book were cut a bit carelessly and the edges are ragged. This does not affect the readability of the text. The book is illustrated with photographs and facsimiles. There are no signs of foxing. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this old book is very good.

Excerpt - Foreword:
I am writing what should have been the last chapter of this book as a foreword because I want to bring home to our people the gravity of the situation; because I want to tell them that the military and naval power of the German Empire is unbroken; that the twelve million men whom the Kaiser ahs called to the colours but one million, five hundred thousand have been killed, five hundred thousand permanently disabled, not more than five hundred thousand are prisoners of war, and about five hundred thousand constitute the number of wounded or those on the sick list of each day, leaving a t all times about nine million effectives under arms.

I state these figures because Americans do not grasp either the magnitude or the importance of this war. Perhaps the statement that over five million prisoners of war are held in the various countries will bring home to Americans the enormous mass of men engaged...
