ABOUT BOOK

I am reprinting here, in response to requests, certain recent experiencesin Great Britain and France. These were selected in the hope ofconveying to American readers some idea of the atmosphere, of "what it islike" in these countries under the immediate shadow of the battle clouds.It was what I myself most wished to know. My idea was first to send homemy impressions while they were fresh, and to refrain as far as possiblefrom comment and judgment until I should have had time to make a fullersurvey.
