Product Description
We passed through it late in the afternoon¿this little Belgian town called Montignies St. Christophe¿just twenty-four hours behind a dust-colored German column. I am going to try now to tell how it looked to us. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exellent acount of the first months of the WWI in the German side, April 27, 2007

By	Pulkkinen "Pulkkinen" (Helsinki Finland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paths of Glory Impressions of War Written at and Near the Front (Paperback)

I'm an European WWI book collector. I bought this accidentally, because I thought it would be the novel "Paths of Glory" by Humphrey Cobb, made famous by Stanley Kubrick's film. If you are a film enthusiast, go to Paths of Glory.

Instead of a novel I found and outstanding travel book about the First World War. Most of that genre are just rubbish and painful to a modern reader. Irvin S. Cobb makes an exception. He is able to analyze the feelings of Belgian and French civilians, Prussian and Bavarian officers and his own feelings too. It is a journey to the mind of a man in the war, too. That makes his book an rare source to the mental history of the war. Cobb is a good and critical journalist, but he doesn't avoid the inevitable moral conclusions about the First World War and the fate of Belgium.
