Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Drawing on exhaustive research, this intimate account details how World War I reduced Europe’s mightiest empires to rubble, killed twenty million people, and cracked the foundations of our modern world “Thundering, magnificent . . . [A World Undone] is a book of true greatness that prompts moments of sheer joy and pleasure. . . . It will earn generations of admirers.”—The Washington Times On a summer day in 1914, a nineteen-year-old Serbian nationalist gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. While the world slumbered, monumental forces were shaken. In less than a month, a combination of ambition, deceit, fear, jealousy, missed opportunities, and miscalculation sent Austro-Hungarian troops marching into Serbia, German troops streaming toward Paris, and a vast Russian army into war, with England as its ally. As crowds cheered their armies on, no one could guess what lay ahead in the First World War: four long years of slaughter, physical and moral exhaustion, and the near collapse of a civilization that until 1914 had dominated the globe. Praise for A World Undone “Meyer’s sketches of the British Cabinet, the Russian Empire, the aging Austro-Hungarian Empire . . . are lifelike and plausible. His account of the tragic folly of Gallipoli is masterful. . . . [A World Undone] has an instructive value that can scarcely be measured”—Los Angeles Times “An original and very readable account of one of the most significant and often misunderstood events of the last century.”—Steve Gillon, resident historian, The History Channel

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dr. Muehlon's Diary, 1918: Notes Written Early in the War By comparison with this chief aim, he feels it to be a matter of minor importance that the reader, whose trust has been so often abused, should believe the occurrences incidentally narrated in the Notes. The writer will be content if his account of these incidents rouses the reader to ponder his own experiences and impressions, and to draw from them such conclusions as he can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My War Diary, 1918 This simple, every-day record of the experiences through which one French family has lived since August, 1914, may seem at first sight a charming, but not very important contribution to the literature of the war. But if we accept Henry Cabot Lodge's dictum that "one fact is gossip, and that two related facts are history," we shall realise in closing the book how much history we have absorbed in a Jourdainesque kind of ignorance. The cure at Mareuil, the little grandsons finding a German skull, the lawn sacrificed to potatoes, the roses rising triumphant over utilitarianism, the good-byes at the railroad-stations, the Christmas tree, the friendly talks ... all these may be trifles in one way; but they are making history. After all, we know more about the Lilliputians than about the Brobdingnagians, and they are more illustrative of Swift. This story of the past war months is like a rich fabric so cunningly woven that the rare and restrained touches of emotion stand out in brilliant relief against the neutral - no, that word has fallen into disrepute - against the sober tones of the daily background.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaves From a War Diary One day late in July, 1918, the Chief of Staff of the Ameri can Expeditionary Force at Chaumont gave me an order ad dressed to the Commanding General authorizing him to give me every assistance in the preparation of a series of magazine articles about his branch of the service. As he handed it over he said: The 'c. In C.' is making a change which you will discover when you reach Tours. Two days later I presented the order to Major General Har bord. It was the first that he received in his new capacity as chief of the Services of Supply - the army behind the army. Such was my introduction to the man whom it was my good fortune to encounter in varying and dramatic circumstances throughout these remaining months that decided the war of wars.

This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winning a Cause, World War Stories Lest We Forget, the first volume of World War stories, gave an outline of the struggle up to the time of the signing of the armistice, November 1918, and contained in general, chronological order most of the stories that to children from ten to sixteen years of age would be' of greatest interest, and give the clearest understanding of the titanic contest. This, the second volume of the same series, contains the stories of the war of the character described, that were not included in Lest We Forget, stories of the United States naval heroes, of the Americans landed in France, of the concluding events of the war, of the visit of President Wilson to Europe, and of the Peace Conference. In a word, emphasis is placed upon America's part in the struggle. This volume should be of even greater interest to American children than the first, for it tells the story of America's greatest achievement, of a nation under taking a tremendous and terrible task not for material gain, but for an ideal.

Download or read book Memoirs of My Services in the World War 1917 1918 written by George Catlett Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George C. Marshall was an American military leader, Chief of Staff of the Army, Secretary of State, and the third Secretary of Defense. Once noted as the "organizer of victory" by Winston Churchill for his leadership of the Allied victory in World War II, Marshall served as the United States Army Chief of Staff during the war and as the chief military adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As Secretary of State, his name was given to the Marshall Plan, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. He drafted this manuscript while he was in Washington, D.C., between 1919 and 1924 as aide-de-camp to General of the Armies John J. Pershing. However, given the growing bitterness of the "memoirs wars" of the period he decided against publication, and the draft sat unused until the 1970s when Marshall's step-daughter and her husband decided to publish it.

In noth ing are we so much the creatures Of our surround ings as in war. For the first few weeks when I was at home, a nation going its way in an era Of pros perity had an aspect of vulgarity; peace itself was vulgar by contrast with the atmosphere Of heroic sacrifice in which I had lived for over a year. I asked myself if my country could ever rise to the state Of exaltation Of France and England. Though first thought, judging by superficial appearances alone, might have said no, I knew that we could if there ever came a call to defend our soil - a call that could be brought home to the valleys Of the Hudson and the Mississippi as a call was brought home to the valleys of the Somme, the Meuse and the Marne.

Download or read book A Diplomatic Diary 1917 Classic Reprint written by Hugh Gibson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Diplomatic Diary, 1917 This volume is not a carefully prepared treatise on the war. It does not set out to prove anything. It is merely What its title indicates - a private journal jotted down hastily from day to day in odd moments, when more pressing duties would permit. Much material has been eliminated as of little interest. Other mate rial of interest has been left out because it cannot be published at this time. It is believed, however, that what is printed here will suffice to give some idea of life in Belgium during the first few months of the war. I have eliminated from the journal most Of the matter about the early history of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. My day-to-day record did not do any sort Of justice to the subject, and since it was not adequate, I have preferred to eliminate all but such casual reference to the relief work as is necessary to maintain the narrative. I am reconciled to this treat ment of the subject by the knowledge that the story will be told comprehensively and well by Dr. Vernon Kellogg, who will soon publish an authoritative history of the Commission's work. As former Director of the Commission in Belgium, he has the detailed knowledge of its workings and the sympathetic understanding of its purpose which peculiarly fit him for the task.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and America This book discusses the essential factors and issues in the European war and their meaning and import for America. The hour for an im personal account of the war has certainly not yet come, and may not come for a long while. What our time can contribute is the reflection of the great war in the minds of individuals. A story of memories and impressions, of fears and hopes, has to-day more inner truth than any history of the struggle apparently written with an historian 's coolness. This diary, therefore, views the events as they unfold themselves from week to week, from the angle of personal experiences.

SO that in a general sense I was fortunately placed for observing the work ing of our war machine, or rather of that part Of it which was in the front zone. Of the Service of Supply I know little, having never really visited the rear zone. Some matters of interest have not been touched on for reasons of discretion.
