Abstract

The War Books
Colby, Elbridge | April 11, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

During the past few months the supply of war books has increased to an appalling degree, for publishers have seemed willing to publish a large number on the chance of one success like "Over the Top," "Private Peat," "Kitchener's Mob," or "The First Hundred Thousand." But the many new books can be divided conveniently into four groups, which include: the impressionistic, the episodic, the historical and the technical. In the first group we find a successful novelist, Jeffery Faniol, writing of "Great Britain at War" is an impressionistic survey of the workshops, the battlefields, and the cruiser squadrons, interpreting the spirit of the combat and the character of the fighters.
