America's War for Humanity

The volume is a pictorial and narrative account of American participation in World War I, combining photographs, maps, official addresses, and eyewitness reports to document mobilization, transatlantic movement, and combat on French and Belgian fronts. It follows the United States' entry, troop training and deployments, and major operations such as the offensives at Château-Thierry and St. Mihiel, and treats aviation, naval activity, logistics, and humanitarian consequences. The book also surveys causes of the conflict, occupation and liberation episodes, armistice actions, and the early postwar diplomatic and reconstruction efforts.
