  How it Looks to the Nations Involved and What it Means to Us By ELBERT FRANCIS BALDWIN Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25 The present war in Europe has called forth a great many books bearing on its different phases, but in the majority of instances these have been written from the standpoint of some one of the nations. Elbert Francis Baldwin has here, however, brought together within the compass of a single volume a survey of the entire field. Mr. Baldwin was in Europe at the outbreak of hostilities. He mingled with the people, observing their spirit and temper more intimately than it has been permitted most writers to do, and in consequence the descriptions which he gives of the German, or French, or English, or Russian attitude are truer and more complete than those found in previous studies of the war. Mr. Baldwin's statements are calm and just in conclusion. When discussing the German side he has included all of the factors which the Germans think important, and assimilated wholly the German feeling, as he has done in his considerations of the other countries. "The one indispensable volume so far published for those who desire a comprehensive survey of the situation.... One of the most valuable contributions to the literature of the World War."—Portland Express. "The dramatic story ... is unusually calm and dispassionate, after the modern historical manner, with a great deal of fresh information."—Philadelphia North American. "Sets down without bias the real causes of the Great War."—New York Times. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY |
