PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A history of World War I through the eyes of the American veterans who fought in its trenches. In presenting their accounts Mead argues the Doughboys, the three million American volunteers of the American Expeditionary Force, played a crucial role in the Allied victory. While this history focuses primarily on first hand accounts of the men on the front line, Mead also provides a political and social analysis of the overall American war contribution.
