About This Item
Cranbury, NJ A.S. Barnes & Co. 1957, 1957. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Quarto, hardcover, near fine in VG blue pictorial dj. One of a set of ten in series. Illustrated throughout with B/W Photos. First published in 1911 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the great War, the volumes became very scarce. This reprint edition shows the multitude of photos taken during the war and this volume tells little of the war's pomp and pageantry. The subject is grim and terrible. Though prisoners of war were not criminals, often men whose courage was their only fault all prisons are horrible. The groans of men shattered and broken ebbing away from disease are awful to behold. It is the dark and cruel side of war that must be told. 352 pp.
