Arthur St. John Adcock was a writer of remarkable reputation in the early decades of the twentieth century. As a prominent journalist on Fleet Street, his tremendous experience and literary insight were perfect qualifications to create this volume of war stories from the frontlines of the First World War. He compiled the letters, diaries, and accounts of the eye-witnesses, soldiers, and officers who fought during the beginning of the war. In this incredible book, he focused on the battles around Mons, the demolition of Louvain, the fighting at Ypres, the first combat of the Marne, and marine activities in the North Sea.
Well worth a read.
