Abstract

The War Well Represented
August 24, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article critically appraises several books. Some of them are "Speaking of Prussians," by Irvin S. Cobb, "The Warfare of Today," by Paul Azan, "The Earthquake," by Arthur Train, and others. In reading them, one finds too much repetition of training periods, steamship journeys, railroad trips, billets, preliminary thrills, and single sectors. People now want less of the pronoun "I" and more of the ways of war. They want less restricted views. They want broader surveys which contribute some general coordinating principles above and beyond the mere facts. They are also willing to read books written for the popular mind, and even by popular writers.
