Book excerpt: Death from a Mauser bullet is less painful than the drawing of a tooth. Such, at least, appears to be the case, speaking generally from apparent evidence, without having the opportunity of collecting the opinions of those who have actually died. In books we have read of shrieks of expiring agony; but ask those who have been on many battlefields, and they will not tell you they have heard them. As a rule a sudden exclamation, "I'm hit!" "My God!" "Damn it!"

Excerpt: ...called their attention to the "good thing" in that tree, and volleys, instead of single bullets, would have come my way. I don't blame the fellow, though. He was attending to what he considered his business, and attending to it well until I interfered by getting out of his reach. I was in a very good imitation of service clothes, had a cartridge-belt and revolver strapped to my waist, and he undoubtedly mistook me for an officer making a reconnoissance. Wriggling a little way from the tree, I made myself as comfortable as I could in the long grass behind a bush. But here I could see nothing except at intervals, and then what I could see did not satisfy me. It was while lying here now thalt I beca-me aware of a curious possibility on the battlefield. In the hottest fire, one may become absent-minded! From lack of ability to see well, I began to think of other matters--of home, of Broadway, of a former tripto the tropics, of the poor fare we had on the transport, and of a certain restaurant in New York where the cold salads were always a delight on a hot summer's day. I had suffered much from rheumatism in the past, and the exposure of sleeping in wet grass the night before, and the hard tramping on this day, had begun to make themselves felt by a painful stiffening. Finding my position on the ground too cramped, I rose to stretch myself, and then the combined ludicrousness and danger of this form of taking comfort dawned upon me, and I laughed and got down close to the ground again. The fire came my way again. Perhaps my own absent-mindedness had caused it. As I lay there watching the grass go down as the bullets zipped it ofi', I could not help wondering how many tons of hay a horse rake could take up here on the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are few people in the world who have more opportunity for getting close to the hot interesting things of one’s time than the special correspondent of a great paper,” George Lynch, a veteran British correspondent, wrote in Impressions of a War Correspondent, published in 1903. He made it all sound glorious, just the way war correspondents like to recount their experiences on the battlefield. But in a few months he had less to exult about. Lynch and a distinguished throng of foreign correspondents with high hopes of a good story assembled in Tokyo to cover the Russo-Japanese War—a monumental conflict that would mark the first modern defeat of a Western force by an Asian one—only to discover that the authorities would not let them “close to the hot interesting things.” Corralled in the Imperial Hotel, the journalists had nothing much to do except tell stories in the bar and write about local flora. A few of them, including Jack London and Richard Harding Davis, decided to contribute short autobiographical stories recounting their most exciting journalistic experiences for a book to be edited by Lynch and his American colleague, Frederick Palmer. The correspondents told their tales in different ways—prose, poems, sketches, and even a short play. Their stories recounted their routines, failures, and triumphs, including durviving battles and waiting to see action. One contributor imagines bewhiskered correspondents in 1950 still awaiting permission from Japan to go to the front—only to learn the war had been over for thirty-nine years. Printed locally by a Japanese printer and largely forgotten until now, In Many Wars, by Many War Correspondents offers colorful stories and insights about the lives and personalities of some of history’s most celebrated war correspondents. With a foreword by John Maxwell Hamilton that chronicles the circumstances under which the contributors compiled the book, this new edition opens a window into the fascinating world of foreign newsgathering at the turn of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Paths of Glory written by Irvin Cobb and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous impressions of the war written at and near the front. Here are all of Cobb's experiences and observations in the Great War, of which the whole country has been talking. "The paths of glory lead but to the grave," said the poet, and behind all these powerful, fascinating accounts of exactly what Cobb saw, with the eye of genius, is the greatest argument for peace! Here one sees the efficiency of the Germans, the march of a million men, the smoke from 42-centimeter guns, the tragedy of widowed Belgium -- And with it one sees the necessity of ending war. A book that will last. "The best book about the war." -San Francisco Chronicle "No more vivid transcription of the war has been put into print - indeed a few word pictures equal the wonderful kaleidoscopic survey of scenes and incidents in 'Paths of Glory.'" -Chicago Examiner "'Paths of Glory' is a human book. The man who wrote it is a big man, big in his ability to crystallize the swiftly moving scenes of a world-drama into eternal form. Cobb sees the high lights, but he also sees the bitter tears of a people who are bearing a burden that they never deserved. 'Paths of Glory' does not neglect to commend the Prussian military machine. But its appeal to us is in its American humanity." -Boston Post "Odd, perhaps, that one of America's funny men should write the best war correspondent's book, yet 'Paths of Glory' is unsurpassed, not alone because of its rich material, but especially because of its moving style. Cobb reached deep down into human nature. Not only has he given the color of the picture, the long marches, the firing-line, the hospital, and the off-duty periods, but he has done that far more difficult task of bringing out all that war means to the many kinds of men engaged in it. In his vastly varied experiences he is able, now by a deft touch of anecdote, now by a gentle flash of quaint humor, to show the psychological reaction on the professional fighting man, the unimaginative recruit, the stunned peasant, the wounded and the dying. It is far and away the book best suited to transplant us to the other side and give us the regular everyday feeling of the war." -The New Republic "Easily deserves first place among recent books about the war. Mr. Cobb has an unusual talent for description, and his pages disclose a character typically American. He saw the war largely through German eyes and under German auspices, and he retained throughout something closely approximating a judicial poise; certainly there is always the manifest intention to be just and an almost meticulous adherence to fact. Nevertheless, the very perfection of the machine, the subordination of the individual to the orders of an admitted superior, leave a sense of outraged Americanism behind...Above all, perhaps, is the sincere American attitude he preserves from cover to cover of his interesting volume." -The Dial CONTENTS I. A Little Village Called Montignies St. Christophe. II. To War in a Taxicab. III. Sherman Said It. IV. "Marsch, Marsch, Marsch, So Geh'n Wir Weiter". V. Being a Guest of the Kaiser. VI. With the German Wrecking Crew VII. The Grapes of Wrath.. VIII. Three Generals and a Cook IX. Viewing a Battle prom a Balloon X. In the Trenches Before Rheims.. XI. War de Luxe... XII. The Rut of Big Guns in France.. XIII. Those Yellow Pine Boxes.. XIV. The Red Glutton.. XV. Belgium--The Rag Doll of Europe . XVI. Louvain the Forsaken.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of War These articles, written from day to day, for the columns of the quebec daily telegraph, were commenced when the war was still at its height, but, happily, the great struggle had been Victoriously con cluded before the final chapter was written. It was not my intention, when I wrote the initial articles, to have prolonged the story to the length it has actually attained; but all I have written still conveys, but in meagre fashion, the tremendous impression made upon me by my visit to England and France last summer; if, however, my descrip tion of the experiences of the Canadian Newspaper Mis sion, as I felt them, give, in even a slight manner, a more adequate, understanding in this country of the efforts made by Britain and France in the Great War, it will not have been in vain. The attempt of Lord Beaver brook, - at that time British Minister of Information, to convey to Canada a more vivid comprehension of the undertakings of Britain and France, has not been, I believe, a futile one.
