Description

""Headquarters Nights"" is a non-fiction book written by Vernon Kellogg, an American entomologist and humanitarian who served as a volunteer with the Commission for Relief in Belgium during World War I. The book is a firsthand account of Kellogg's experiences and conversations at the headquarters of the German Army in occupied France and Belgium. Kellogg's observations and conversations provide a unique perspective on the German military and its leadership during the war. He describes the daily routines and activities of the officers and soldiers, as well as their attitudes towards the war and their enemies. He also provides insights into the German military strategy and tactics, as well as the impact of the war on civilians in the occupied territories. The book is divided into chapters that cover different topics, such as the German military hierarchy, the role of propaganda, and the treatment of prisoners of war. Kellogg's writing is clear and engaging, and he provides vivid descriptions of the people and places he encounters. Overall, ""Headquarters Nights"" is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the German Army during World War I. It is recommended for anyone interested in military history, World War I, or the experiences of civilians and volunteers during wartime.1917. Contents: Biographical Note; Foreword by Theodore Roosevelt; The Headquarters of the Great General Staff; Von Bissing's Headquarters; and A Belgian Record. �������One of the most graphic pictures of the German attitude, the attitude which has rendered this war inevitable, is contained in this book. It is a convincing, and an evidently truthful, exposition of the shocking, the unspeakably dreadful moral and intellectual perversion of character which makes Germany at present a menace to the whole civilized world.�������This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
