Excerpt from Sous les Armes: With Introduction, Notes And Vocabulary
This war, like a battle, is a continuous development and must be considered as a whole. It has, heretofore, been marked by a series of wide - spread and prolonged moves, each constituting, as it were, a distinct cam paign in itself, and yet none of which can be taken separately.
It will be possible to begin the history of the war only when it has come to an end. It would not at present be possible even to give anything like a fair and accu rate presentation of the events of the last four years.
