“The ‘American guidebook’ is not compact. It is badly organized and repetitious. Of the 20–odd maps in the book, not one is of practical value to the tourist. The only worth-while section of the book is the part devoted to brief tabular histories of A. E. F. divisions. The information given in this department is compact, well-presented and satisfying.” J: T. Winterich
