Fighting in Flanders (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)

Edward Alexander Powell (1879-1957) was the American author who wrote: Fighting in Flanders (1914), Vive la France (1915), Italy at War and the Allies in the West (1917), The New Frontiers of Freedom: From the Alps to the Aegean (1920), By Camel and Car to the Peacock Throne (1923), The Struggle for Power in Muslim Asia (1923), In Barbary (1926), The Last Home of Mystery (1929), Yonder Lies Adventure (1932), Slanting Lines of Steel (1933), Free Lance (1937), and Gone are the Days (1938). "Nothing is more unwise, on general principles, than to attempt to write about a war before that war is finished and before history has given it the justice of perspective. The campaign which began with the flight of the Belgian Government from Brussels and which culminated in the fall of Antwerp formed, however, a separate and distinct phase of the Greatest of Wars, and I feel that I should write of that campaign while its events are still sharp and clear in my memory and before the impressions it produced have begun to fade.
