Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Experiences of the War Between France and Germany, Vol. 1 of 2 IT is right to state that a large proportion of the material of these two volumes consists of letters con tributed to The Daily News, so far as concerns the events written of in Parts III., and IV.; to The Morning Advertiser, as regards Part I. I have modified, excised, and te-written not a little, only to find the desire, which cannot be gratified, grow stronger and stronger to te-write the whole. As it is, what follows can claim to be no more than an honest narrative of events which passed within my own ken; nor did I allow any con sideration to deter me from bringing as many events as possible within my ken. Yet even of these the book makes no pretensions to be a historical record; but it may be of some service to the historian which the late war is sure to evoke.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Experiences of the War Between France and Germany, Vol. 2 of 2 Challenge came sounding out of the darkness. It came from a post of regulars, who had a watchword of their own, which prevailed throughout the brigade that occupied the territory as far as Flize. The regulars refused to have any connection with the gentlemen over the way, in the shape of the Landwehr, and the Land wehr watchword was of as little value as a brass sovereign at the counter of the Bank of England. In vain did the Landwehr sentry represent to his brother of the line that the travellers were all right, his demand for a watchword having been responded to. The sentry of the regulars would neither allow a passage nor reveal the watchword. The courier had to dismount and cross the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over the Threshold of War Personal Experiences of the Great European Conflict My diary is here illustrated and published in full, for the first time, and it is hoped that it will continue to reap for the good of the cause, since all proceeds go now to the Belgian Scholarship Committee. I saw old Russia under the regime of her Tzar prepare to mobilize her ponderous army just before the crash, and in the daily companionship of an unusually active and well informed Russian. From Russia I passed through Germany, into France, and it is believed that the most complete account of the amusing happenings during the first days of panic of my countrymen at the American Embassy there, drifted into the pages of this diary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My War Experiences in Two Continents She lived much alone, and the diary was her only confidante. In one of her books she says that ex pression is the most insistent of human needs, and that the inarticulate man or woman who finds no outlet in speech or in the affections, will often keep a little locked volume in which self can be safely revealed. Her diary occupied just such a place in her own inner life, and for that reason one hesitates to submit its pages even to the most loving and sympathetic scrutiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Memories Here it is - a little book which reflects upon every page the intimate heart-life of the American boy in France, during the World War - what he saw and felt and thought and did, not only in the great crises of battle; but on the march and in the camp - setting forth the first impressions made upon a soldier's mind, under foreign skies, at the cannon 's mouth, and revealing the fact that everywhere and always his thoughts were of the dear ones at home, thousands of miles across the seas. It is like a mirror in its faithful reproduction of the simpler elements which enter into vast and splen did scenes. We have heard much of general move ments; of grand climaxes; of superb exhibitions of man-power, in rthe aggregate; of millions, upon one side, confronting millions upon another; and so vast has been the picture presented to our minds that we have utterly failed to grasp it, except in its out standing characteristics. We have heard too little of the human side of the great wan - too little ofthe things which carry a direct appeal to the deep heart of America. We have been hungry for the minor details - for the smaller threads for the frag mentary episodes and incidents - for the rare and delicate and tender touches of color which are need ed to complete the picture, and to give it beauty, pathos, power and charm. Ever since, in the lone solitudes of the night, we first began to wonder where our boys were, on the other side - if they were still safe - we have longed for such a book; and so far as our personal observa tion extends it is the very first book of this character to appear in print, on either side of the water. The experiences of one soldier are not unlike those of another; and every fond parent who reads this book will feel that his or her boy is writing, though it may be that his spirit now looks down upon them from the unseen halls of the Great Valhalla.

Book excerpt: In 1940, the German army fought and won an extraordinary battle with France in six weeks of lightning warfare.

To Lose a Battle is the third part of the trilogy beginning with The Fall of Paris and continuing with The Price of Glory (already available in Penguin).

Download or read book Das Reich written by Max Hastings and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world-renowned British historian recounts the actions of one of Hitler’s most elite armor units in one of World War II’s most horrific months. June 1944, the month of the D-Day landings carried out by Allied forces in Normandy, France. Germany’s 2nd SS Panzer Division, one of Adolf Hitler’s most elite armor units, had recently been pulled from the Eastern Front and relocated to France in order to regroup, recruit more troops, and restock equipment. With Allied forces suddenly on European ground, the division—Das Reich—was called up to counter the invasion. Its march northward to the shores of Normandy, 15,000 men strong, would become infamous as a tale of unparalleled brutality in World War II. Das Reich is Sir Max Hastings’s narrative of the atrocities committed by the 2nd SS Panzer Division during June of 1944: first, the execution of 99 French civilians in the village of Tulle on June 9; and second, the massacre of 642 more in the village of Oradour-sur-Glane on June 10. Throughout the book, Hastings expertly shifts perspective between French resistance fighters, the British Secret Service (who helped coordinate the French resistance from afar and on the ground), and the German soldiers themselves. With its rare, unbiased approach to the ruthlessness of World War II, Das Reich explores the fragile moral fabric of wartime mentality. Praise for Das Reich “A gripping blend of narrative and investigation.” —Evening Standard “This classic account of WWII is a microcosm of the global conflict. Hastings brings to life the horror that the 2nd SS Panzer division, Das Reich, inflicted upon the citizens living in a bucolic corner of France.” —Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel and Hitler’s Panzers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Little Part in a Big War From a letter dated February 20th, 1918, written in Paris to my old and intimate friend, M. Leo Sipser, I quote the following: "So you think my letters would make interesting manuscripts? Well, all I can say is that if they were written in disappearing ink, they would have unlimited circulation in every blind man's home in the country! Those are about the only places and under the only conditions wherein they might be appreciated. But thanks for the compliment just the same. Who ever heard of me as a man of letters!" I have not changed my opinion in the slightest degree, and I am compiling this narrative of my experiences and impressions to bolster my memory in future years - to keep me from forgetting the hardships and pleasures, the work and the play incidental to my stay in France as one of the American Expeditionary Forces sent to that country in the great World War of 1914-1918. The letters that follow were passed by the Censor in much the same form as they appear here. While gathering them together for this narrative, I have added dates, geographical locations, names of persons, and other details, which at the time of writing were forbidden by the General Orders covering Mail Censorship. I have also expanded some notes from my diary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verdun to the Vosges: Impressions of the War on the Fortress Frontier of France It is a fact that not only the Germanophil but the Francophil Swiss were genuinely and deeply astonished when they learnt - from the official communique? That we intended to intervene in the war because the soil of Belgium had been invaded. When the thing was done they accepted it as a fact. They were bound to. But they did not anticipate it. They found it hard to believe that with an army, as they thought and they were not so far wrong - of only men, with nothing to gain and everything to lose, we would be so quixotic as to throw ourselves into a contest in which we were not directly concerned, and to send our contemptible little army (even smaller than their own) to fight in a foreign country the battles of another state against the overpowering military might of Germany. It is also a fact - and to me a still more astounding revelation - that a month after the war had begun there were people in France, and among them soldiers of high standing, who were honestly surprised at what we had already done in the war, as well as profoundly grateful, and who even then honestly doubted whether we really meant to put our backs into it to any purpose.
