SIMONDS of The New York Evening Sun This is the first real history of what has actually happened since the great War began. There have been books a-plenty dealing with the underlying causes and ambitions, and with the Europe of July, 1914. This book is not one of them; it deals specifically with the first phase of the War—from the murder of the Austrian Archduke to the fall of Antwerp. It traces the course of the different armies—English, German, French, Austrian, and Belgian—in language at once simple, clear, and vigorous; shows you what moves they have made and why they have made them; by what plan of campaign each hoped to achieve success and what the measure of that success has been. There are numerous simple maps specially prepared to make clearer the military operations. Frank H. Simonds’ editorial comments on the War, as they have appeared in The New York Evening Sun, have attracted nation-wide attention. No one has better succeeded in showing people what the fighting is all about. Here is his book. The publisher hopes to follow it later with other volumes dealing with succeeding phases of the War.
