E. s. Martin on the War

No better editorial articles are printed
in America than those written by Ed

has selected from those he wrote during
the first three years of the war enough
to M volume They all deal with
the war or with its effect on American
politics. They are all sane and logical
and even when one disagrees with them
one respects the sincerity of the man
who writes them. There will be many
formal histories written telling of the
events of the three years covered by
this volume, but there will be none which
will reveal more clearly the spirit OF
the nation in that trying period.
