Abstract

Man's Inhumanity to Man

Seagle, William | March 27, 1929 issue

The article presents information on the book "I Saw It Myself," by Henri Barbusse and translated by Bryan Rhys. Yet despite this background an U.S. citizen will find it hard to believe the tales recounted in "I Saw It Myself' of the brutality and torture and insanity which fell to the lot of human beings all over the world, but particularly in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, during the war and the years that followed it. War is hell, but still it seems unusually monstrous for the Allied Command to have mowed down thousands of soldiers of a Russian battalion isolated in France which refused to fight any longer after hearing the glorious news of the revolution at home.
