Excerpt from A History of the Great War, Vol. 1 This work in its original form appeared in twenty-four volumes between February 1915 and July mm, and was therefore written and published for the most part during the progress of the campaign. Begun as an experiment to pass the time during a period of enforced inaction, its large sales and the evidence forthcoming that it met a certain need induced me to continue it as a duty, and the bulk of it was written in the scanty leisure which I could snatch from service abroad and at home. Any narrative produced under such conditions must bristle with imperfections. It will contain many errors of fact. The writer cannot stage his drama or prepare the reader for a sudden change by a gradual revelation of its causes. His work must have something of the apparent inconsequence of real life. He records one month a sanguine mood and a hopeful forecast; three months later he will tell of depression and of expectations belied. He must set out interim judgments, and presently recant them.

Excerpt from The Great World War, Vol. 1: A History In this ungovernable ambition Ger many stands condemned out of the mouths of her own dictators. War, according to General von Bernhardi, who revealed the thoughts and faith of his race with amazing frankness in his several books on the subject, had become for Germany a biological ne cessity of the first importance. War is the father of all things he quoted, and since Germany had to expand or perish, and could only expand at the cost of other nations, she must hack out her destiny by force of arms. Germany's historical mission, accord ing to the same teaching, was nothing less than the ultimate conquest of the globe. It was to be world-power or downfall, and no German brought up on this doctrine had the least doubt as to the issue.

Excerpt from The Americans in the Great War, Vol. 1 When the United States of America declared war on' Germany, it was not known exactly what shape their intervention would take if their help would be limited to aiding the Allies financially and industrially and tightening the blockade, or if they would take an active part in the military operations. Opinions on this point were much divided, and if many were in favour of an unrestricted participation in the war, others were for a more moderate programme.

Excerpt from History of the World War, Vol. 1 The World War, entering its thirty-fourth month, as these lines are writ ten, has had three distinct phases, both on the military side and on the larger and more significant human side. The three military phases are supplied by the Marne campaign and its immediate consequences; the Russian campaign, with its Balkan episode and its Verdun ending; the Allied offensive in the west, which began at the Somme in July, 1916, and is still proceeding before Arras and along the old Aisne battlefield. In the Marne campaign Germany sought a complete triumph by a swift and terrible thrust at France, the only one of her foes then in any sense pre pared for war. Her thrust was parried at the Marne and permanently blocked at the Yser and at Ypres. Thereafter she had to turn east and restore the fail ing fortunes of Austria and protect her own imperilled marches. In the Russian campaign Germany sought to dispose of Russia, as she had endeavoured to dispose of France in the Marne campaign. Immediate success escaped her in this field. Despite terrible defeats and long retreats, Russian resistance was not broken, although the Russian Revolution, now the main factor on the eastern front and unmistakably a consequence of Russian defeat, gives to the German campaign of 1915 a value that was not perceived at the time. What the permanent value will be remains problematical. But as she had to turn east, with her western task incomplete in 1914, Germany had, after a brief and glorious campaign on behalf of her Turkish ally, to return west in February, 1916, and seek at Verdun what she had not attained on the Marne. Her failure there cost her the initiative and condemned her to the defensive. The campaign which opened at the Somme is still proceeding. Since they began their attack on July 1, 1916, the Allies have steadily, if only slowly, pushed the Germans back and the recent victory of Arras demonstrates that the British army has at last reached a high state of efficiency, while there are signs, far from conclusive to be sure, of a decline in German morale. At all events, the Germans remain on the defensive and the end of this third phase has not come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The First World War, 1914-1918, Vol. 1 These records of my personal experiences during the war are a contribution towards the elucidation of the truth so far as I was able to ascertain it at the time, and will, I hope, enable many to understand better the events of these memorable years. A certain amount has been omitted on the recommendation of eminent counsel, and some names have also been left out, but for the rest the entries in my diary have been left substantially as they were written, and are a faithful record of my impressions during this extra ordinary and eventful epoch. My grateful thanks are due to some most kind friends for reading the proofs and giving me much valuable advice; to Lady Maude for allowing me to use her late husband's letters to me; and to the writers of other letters for giving me permission to publish them.

Excerpt from A Military History of the War, Vol. 1: From the Declaration of War, to the Close of the Campaign, of August 1914 The author of this brief history, which attempts a description of the opening phase of the great war, was in Brussels when the Belgian capital capitulated to the Germans. Thence he followed the retreat of the Anglo French forces and saw something of the Operations on the left flank of that vast array, and was able to hear the accounts of some of the principal actors in the drama while their experiences were still fresh, besides profiting by his own experiences at the theatre of war.
