Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Note-Book of an Attache Seven Months in the War Zone
When the war-storm suddenly loomed over Europe at the end of July, 1914, I was quietly studying architecture in the Ecole des beau-arts at Paris. When austria-hungary declared war on Serbia on July 24th, the atmos phere of the city became so surcharged with excitement that to persist in study was dificult. Within a week I myself had been swept into the vortex of rushing events, from which I did not emerge until seven months later.
