Out To Win

Out to Win by Coningsby Dawson is about the First World War from the perspective of America's troops on the French battleground. Excerpt: «I am not writing this preface for the conscious fool, but for his self-deceived brother who considers himself a very wise person. I hope that some persons may recognize themselves and be provided with food for thought. They will usually be people who have contributed little to this war, except mean views and endless talk. Had they shared the sacrifice of it, they would have developed within themselves the faculty for a wider generosity. The extraordinary thing about generosity is its eagerness to recognize itself in others. You find these untravelled critics and mischief-makers on both sides of the Atlantic.»
