The Guns of Europe (Classic Reprint)

The Guns of Europe is the first of three connected romances, of which The Forest of Swords and The Hosts of the A ir are to be respectively the second and third, dealing with the world war in Europe. It was the singular fortune of the author to be present at the beginning of this, the most gigantic struggle in the history of our globe. He was in Vienna the day A ustria-H ungary declared war upon Servia, thus setting the torch that lighted the general conflagration. Return ing westward, he reached Munich the day Germany declared war upon Russia. He remained in Germany nearly a month, having witnessed in turn the Austrian and Ger man mobilizations, and then arrived in England in time to see the gathering of the British Empire sarmed hosts. He was also, upon his return, in Quebec when the greatest colony of the British was rallying to their sup port. Such an experience at such an extraordinary crisis makes ineffaceable impressions, and through his charac ters, the author has striven his best to reproduce them in these three romances.
