The present war in Europe has called forth a great many books bearing on
its different phases, but in the majority of instances these have been
written from the standpoint of some one of the nations. Elbert Francis
Baldwin has here, however, brought together within the compass of a
single volume a survey of the entire field.
Mr. Baldwin was in Europe at the outbreak of hostilities. He mingled
with the people, observing their spirit and temper more intimately than
it has been permitted most writers to do, and in consequence the
descriptions which he gives of the German, or French, or English, or
Russian attitude are truer and more complete than those found in
previous studies of the war. Mr. Baldwin's statements are calm and just
in conclusion. When discussing the German side he has included all of
the factors which the Germans think important, and assimilated wholly
the German feeling, as he has done in his considerations of the other
countries.
"The one indispensable volume so far published for those who desire a
comprehensive survey of the situation.... One of the most valuable
contributions to the literature of the World War."--_Portland Express._
"The dramatic story ... is unusually calm and dispassionate,
after the modern historical manner, with a great deal of fresh
information."--_Philadelphia North American._
"Sets down without bias the real causes of the Great War."--_New York
Times._
