Thirty million soldiers, each living a great human story--this is the real drama of the Great War as it is being written into the hearts and memories of the men at the front. If these soldiers could be gathered around one camp-fire, and each soldier could relate the most thrilling moment of his experience--what stories we would hear! "Don Quixote," the "Arabian Nights," Dante's "Inferno," Milton's Paradise Lost, and Regained"--all the legends and tales of the world's literature out-told by the soldiers themselves.It is from the lips of these soldiers, and those who have passed through the tragedy of the war--the women and children whose eyes have beheld the inferno and whose souls have been uplifted by suffering and self-sacrifice--the generations will hear the epic of the days when millions of men gave their lives to "make the world safe for Democracy." The magnitude of this gigantic struggle against autocracy is such that human imagination cannot visualize it--it requires one to stand face to face with death itself.
