BASSETT, JOHN SPENCER. Our war with Germany; a history. il *$4 (3c) Knopf 940.373
19–19694
For descriptive note see Annual for 1919.
“Taken all together the account of Professor Bassett is the clearest and best that has yet attempted in one volume the story of our part in the world war. New sources will modify parts of the work, but the main outlines will stand much as this historian has dispassionately presented them. The chief complaint that some readers will make with justice is that the book is placid rather than penetrating or analytical.”
