France -- Fiction; World War, 1914-1918 -- Fiction
In this story Mr. Chambers deals with the early years of the Great War.
Sickened by what seems to them at that time indifference on the part of
the American Government, an odd group of men meet on the decks of a mule
transport. They have been drawn to this common rendezvous by a desire to
enter the war and purge their souls in the fight for the freedom of the
world.
There are twelve in the group, eight Americans, three Frenchmen, and a
Belgian, and prominent among them is Jim Neeland, whose earlier
experiences Mr. Chambers has related in the "Dark Star."
Barbarians records the adventures of these men, not together, but singly
or in groups, along the whole western battle front, from the Belgian coast
to the mountains of Alsace. It is filled with unusual character sketches
of the lives of the men in the Trenches, and of life in the little towns
just inside the lines of Battle. Through it all there is great beauty and
wonderful sense of justice and right that is indeed more precious than
peace.
