Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

Text uses both “Fraternalization” and “Fraternization”.

Page [133]: “were” was missing in “Fundamentally, they were wrong”; changed here.

Page [150]: “battles are not merely battues” was printed that way, and may have been intentional.
