FIRST REFLECTIONS ON THE CAMPAIGN OF 1918

Descripción

Solid ex-US Military library copy. Bottom 1/4 of spine covering gone. INTRODUCTION I WAS attached to the General Staff at General Pershing's Headquarters in France over a period of twelve months. During that time I made a numher of visits to the front while operations ;vwere in progress and was also sent to Paris and London on various missions. So that in a general %nse I was fortunately placed for observing the working 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. The views placed before the reader are intended as constructive criticism of our combat army, and not otherwise. But it must never be forgotten that, after all, the fundamental criticism and responsibility for our military shortcomings, and the consequent waste of American lives, goe^%l?k to those individuals in public or private life who, before the war, either opposed or neglected national preparedness,?and they were many and conspicuous. ix 79 pages.
