Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-Four Days on a Troopship There is a deeper purpose in the publication of this book then the simple narration of disjointed tales about a troopship, homeward bound. The voyage from Genoa to New York, extending over a period of twenty-four days, is a mere incident in its relation to the World War, and yet you must apprehend that the difficulties which have arisen in transporting twelve hundred six soldiers have been real, even if they are often amusing. The ships which have carried two million of our men to and from foreign soil have been more or less like this one, and even during war time similar comedies have been enacted. Many a soldier has found his life mate dressed in a Red Cross uniform. The shuttle of fate has woven thousands of romances out of the warp of war. War is a leveler of morals, but it levels down, not up. So we shall learn. Every solitary incident cited in this book is founded upon facts. I commend it to you as a rhetorical impossibility. From a literary point of view it has little merit. Humanly speaking it is a real production and that´s why it will be read with human interest. People acted and I wrote.
