1918. Lieutenant Dawson, whose two war books, The Glory of the Trenches and Carry On, have had many sympathetic and admiring readers, was commissioned by the British Government to visit the American army in France, and in this book he gives an account of his visit. It is a vivid, prophetic statement of America's program in France. Its brilliant judgments are authoritative and based on observed facts to which no other writer has as yet had access. There have been a good many questions as to what difference America's participation would make in the war and how soon her weight would begin to tell. This book, which a combatant officer was drawn out of the fighting line especially to write on account of his grasp of American affairs, gives an answer to all such questions. It pays glorious tribute to our boys over there and will inspire faith and confidence in our army and in our Government.
