Book Details

First Sentence

"In May 1919, six months after the end of the Great War, American journalist F. H. Simmonds stood on the former battlefields in France. He witnessed a wrecked and desolate landscape: 'shell-torn hill sides', the scattered and ruined materials of war, and, interspersed among all this, the graves of thousands of soldiers."
