A History of the Great War: Volume One - The British Campaign in France and Flanders 1914

Descripción

A History of the Great War; Volume One The British Campaign in France and Flanders 1914; by Arthur Conan Doyle; George H. Doran Company, New York, 1916. From the Preface It is continually stated that it is impossible to bring out at the present time any accurate history of the war. But so far as the actual early events of our own campaign upon the continent are concerned there is no reason why the approximate truth should not now be collected and set forth. The present volume deals only with the events of 1914 in the British fighting-line in France and Belgium. A second volume dealing with 1915 will be published within a few months. From the first days of the war I have devoted much of my time to the accumulation of evidence from first-hand sources as to the various happenings of these great days. I have built up my narrative from letters, diaries, and interviews from the hand or lips of men who have been soldiers in our armies, the deeds of which it was my ambition to understand and to chronicle. This book, 349 pages is in fine condition. Ownership signature on first free endpaper, dated 2.17.1917. N° de ref. del artículo 2198
