Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

My Year Of The War by Frederick Palmer is a memoir that recounts the author's experiences as a war correspondent during World War I. The book covers the year 1917, a crucial year in the war, and the author provides a first-hand account of the battles and events that took place during that time. Palmer was a seasoned journalist who had covered wars before, but the scale and intensity of the conflict in Europe were unlike anything he had seen before. He writes about his travels to the front lines, his encounters with soldiers and civilians, and his observations of the war's impact on the people and the land. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the battles, the trenches, and the devastation caused by the war. Palmer also provides insights into the strategies and tactics employed by the military leaders, and the political and social context of the war. My Year Of The War is a gripping and poignant account of one man's experience of a defining moment in world history.The guns blazed the way and the infantry charged in the path of the guns' destruction; and they kept on while the shield of shell-fire held. When it left an opening for the German machine-guns through its curtain and the German guns visited on the British what their guns had been visiting on the Germans, the British stopped. A lesson was learned; a principle established. A gain was made, if no goal were reached.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
