HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR - FRANK HERBERT SIMOND...

The World War  entering its thirty-fourth month  as these lines are written  has had three
distinct phases  both on the military side and on the larger and more significant human side.
The three military phases are supplied by the Marne campaign and its immediate consequences 
the Russian campaign  with its Balkan episode and its Verdun ending  the Allied offensive in
the west  which began at the Somme in July  1916  and is still proceeding before Arras and
along the old Aisne battlefield. I have striven to make this book an American comment upon a
world war  and no one can be more conscious than am I of its limitations. [...] This is the
third volume of the five volume series on the history of World War I. This volume describes the
events surrounding the battles in Verdun and the Somme in an impressive and captivating way.
With many details and photos of the war events  the reader is taken with at the time of the
early 20th century. The author  Frank H. Simonds  was a living witness of the war. He lived
from 1878 - 1936. This particular book is an unchanged reprint of the long out of print
original edition from 1919.
