Of this extraordinarily interesting narrative, The Times said: “This will surely be one of the comparatively few war books which contemporaries will read and re-read and hand on to posterity. Hundreds, nay, thousands, of subalterns saw much the same things that M. Genevoix saw, and went through equally ripening experiences. But if they were compelled to describe it all on paper the result in the great majority of cases would be simply a mass of material like unsmelted ore. Few, if any, would show the magic touch of this young lieutenant. The book is la vérité vraie.”
Behind the German Veil

The German “veil” has been lifted during the war, and we have had discreet and generally prearranged peeps into the real Germany. But Mr. de Beaufort has done more than raise one corner for a fleeting glimpse. He has kept open the door behind it, for he had in his possession a magic key—a letter of introduction to Hindenburg himself from the Teutonic demigod’s nephew.
