by Dr. Wolfgang Ackerman ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 25, 1936
A story of great interest written by a youth of 1916, member of the reserve officers of the royal army of Francis Josef of Austria-Hungary. The story opens with action on the eastern front, horrors that caused comrades to turn gray and go mad, fresh troops of boys with four weeks' training, officers beastly to their men, Jews persecuted. Then the lull of the Kerensky regime. Letters from young soldiers, first hand stories of girls and women in towns through which he wont. The tale is a poignant one, sincere, with the ring of humanity. A new type of war book -- good pacifist propaganda. Beauty and horror combined.
