History of the World War - 5 Volume Collection

This five volume series on the history of the first World War was written as the war was entering it's thirty-fourth month. The author describes the series, in the preface, as "an effort to interpret fairly and to an American audience the earlier incidents in the world struggle, hitherto mainly explained to Americans by commentators belonging to nations already at war who have reviewed the campaigns from the perspectives of belligerents, and have naturally paid small attention to the point of view of the citizens of a nation separated by its history, by its long neutrality, and by the expanse of the ocean from the conflict."
