Excerpt from Famous Generals of the Great War Who Led the United States and Her Allies to a Glorious Victory The world conflict, which has happily come to a close, was the greatest and the most destructive war Of all history, for the engines of destruction - contrived by the mind of man - are now more ruinous than ever before. Millions Of human beings have been destroyed because of the unbridled ambition of one man, assisted by his adherents and counselors. Thousands of peace ful homes have been laid waste, and the wreckage Of battle is strewn over the once quiet fields of France, of Belgium, of Poland, Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Servia, and Palestine. In this book I have written of the more prominent generals Of the Allied forces, who, leading the armies Of millions, have crushed the mailed fist Of Germany, raised to enslave the world beneath the Teutonic flag. These men have seen suffering, death, privation, want, and destruction. They have led the forces Of anti Germans to a successful victory, and are worthy Of permanent recognition by the historian. Trusting that these essays will prove both interesting and instructive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
