Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is written by a veteran who served in the US military during World War 1. Stationed across Europe, the author holds the view that the United States should not participate in the League of Nations and that the US Government pushed America into war. The author believes that America was misled through false and exaggerated claims of German aggression and that a military council was deliberately undermined by the American administration. The book argues that this misconduct caused extreme hardship for the soldiers who fought on the front lines, including the author. By recounting their own personal history, the author seeks to provide a record of their experience and to highlight the failures of the American government during the war.
