Abstract

Leave it to the Brits to celebrate the eightieth anniversary of America's entry into the Great War. British authors Meirion and Susan Harries have combined their talents to bring forth a new perspective on America during World War I. Although not historians by training, they come prepared with both research and writing skills: Meirion is an attorney, and Susie is a classical scholar and review for the London Times Literary Supplement
