Book Description

Excerpt from France Bears the Burden My dear Major Fortescue: That which, in my opinion, gives special value to your book on France in war time, is that you have not been content only to gather therein the excellent articles sent by you from Paris and the Front to the Washington Post, but you also, from your observations and experiences, develop a picture of the whole subject. Yours is the work of the historian. To your vivid and accurate articles, to your accounts of the fighting on the Somme, at Verdun, in the Argonne, you have added a methodical delineation, exact and instructive, of the organization and practice of war as developed in France during three years.
