achievement."--_London Daily Chronicle._

"Not merely a remarkable book; it is a revelation.... One
feels that, with perhaps one or two exceptions, all previous
descriptions of modern warfare have been the merest
abstractions."--_St. James Gazette._

"Holds one irrevocably. There is no possibility of
