About This Book

This account surveys American participation and relief efforts during the European war, profiling ambulance units, motor drivers, volunteer hospitals, and combat detachments while considering the motives that sent citizens overseas. It examines domestic neutrality, cosmopolitan tensions, and immigrant loyalties, presents translated German wartime diaries and critiques of military methods, and records the devastation experienced by rural French communities—lost villages, refugees, clergy, and caregivers—through reportage and photographs. Appendices respond to critics and extend appeals for humanitarian aid and public engagement.
