In The Claws Of The German Eagle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162667690)

In The Claws Of The German Eagle is a historical non-fiction book written by Albert Rhys Williams. The book is a first-hand account of the author's experiences as a war correspondent during World War I. The author provides a detailed and vivid description of the war front, the battles, and the atrocities committed by the German army. The book covers the period from 1914 to 1918 and includes the author's observations on the political and social climate of Europe during that time. The author also provides insights into the strategies and tactics used by the German army and the impact of the war on the civilians. The book is a gripping and informative read that provides a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in modern history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in World War I and the history of Europe in the early 20th century.The outbreak of the Great War found me in Europe as a general tourist, and not in the capacity of war-correspondent. Hitherto I had essayed a much less romantic role in life, belonging rather to the crowd of uplifters who conduct the drab and dreary battle with the slums. The futility of most of these schemes for badgering the poor makes one feel at times that these battles are shams and unavailing. This is depressing. It is thrilling, then, suddenly to acquire the glamorous title of war-correspondent, and to have before one the prospect of real and actual battles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
