_Illustrated, 8vo_
This book deals with the author's experiences in the war area. The work
traces the cause of the war from the treaty of 1878 through the Balkan
situation. It contains many facts drawn from personal observation, for
Col. McCormick has had opportunities such as have been given to no other
man during the present engagements. He has been at the various
headquarters and actually in the trenches. One of the most interesting
chapters of the volume is the concluding one dealing with great
personalities of the war from first-hand acquaintance.
The work contains a considerable amount of material calculated to upset
generally accepted ideas, comparisons of the fighting forces, and much
else that is fresh and original.
