Publisher's Synopsis
Few Americans appreciate the significance and intensity of America's experience of World War I, the global cataclysm that transformed the modern world. Published to mark the centenary of the American entry into the conflict, World War I and America brings together a wide range of writings by eighty-eight American participants and observers to tell a vivid and dramatic first-hand story from the outbreak of war in 1914 through the Armistice, the Paris Peace Conference, and the League of Nations debate.
