Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Turn of the Tide, American Operations at Cantigny, Cha^teau Thierry, and the Second Battle of the Marne Furthermore, I had the great honor and good fortune to be attached to the French and British Armies in the Vosges and Flanders, respectively, before engaging in campaign with my own command, and later of serving with my own command while attached to the British Army in Picardy. The experience of the War thus gained, coupled with that of an active participation in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne campaigns, enabled me, I believe, to acquire a broader viewpoint than I might have had with more restricted opportunities. In justice to our gallant and indomitable Allies who bore the brunt of the War and denied the Central Allies the ultimate victory while we were preparing to assist in attaining it, I have been careful to avoid the all too common error of overrating our physical contribution to the result. However great the moral effect of our participation in the fighting on the Marne may have been, and it is hard to overestimate that effect, the time has come when in justice to ourselves as well as to our Allies we should view the events of the War sanely, and endeavor to see them in their true perspective. Surely the truth is glorious enough, and there is no cause for our pride to suffer at its telling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
