Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Assault: Germany Before the Outbreak and England in War-Time; A Personal Narrative This is not a "war book." It has bot been my privilege at any stage of the Great Blood-Letting to come into close contact with the spectacular clash and din of the fray. Alber pens than mine, many of them wielded by the "neutral" hands of American colleagues, are immortalizing the terrible, yet irresistibly fascinating, scenes of this most stupendous drama. But every drama has its scenario and its prologue and its behind-the-curtain scenes - none ever written was so rich in these preliminaries and accessories as is Europe´s epic. To have witnessed and lived through some of these was vouchsafed me; and to take American readers with me down the line of the past year´s recollections and impressions is the sole object of this unpretentious effort. History, Caryle said, was some one´s record of personal, the pages of this book are confined. For thirteen years to the week - I have always had a respectful horror of thirteen - I was a resident of Berlin. During the first five years of that period my identity was clear: I was the representative in Germany of an American newspaper, the Chicago Daily News.
