Présentation de l'éditeur
Foretoort) HERE is a deeper purpose in the publication of this book then the simple narration of disjointed tales about a troopship, homeward bound. The voyage from Genoa to Nev York, extending over a period of twenty-four days, is a mere incident in its relation to the World War, and yet you must apprehend that the difficulties which have arisen in transporting twelve hundred six soldiers have been real, even if they are often amusing. The ships which have carried two million of our men to and from foreign soil have been more or less like this one, and even during war time similar comedies have been enacted. Many a soldier has found his life mate dressed in a Red Cross uniform. The shuttle of fate has woven thousands of romances out of the uarp of war. War is a leveler of morals, but it levels down, not up. So we shall learn. Every solitary incident cited in this book is founded upon facts. I commend it to you as a rhetorical impossibility. From a literary point of view it has little merit. Humanly speaking it is a real production and thats why it will be read with human interest. People acted and I wrote. J.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This enthralling memoir by a 1920s traveler on board a troopship en route from war-torn Europe to the USA blends insightful observations with humor and warmth. The narrative places the central theme of soldiers returning home from World War I within the broader context of shifting global political power dynamics. The author presents a thought-provoking exploration of the lives and experiences of these servicemen and women and their joyous relief at leaving the horrors of war behind, while simultaneously coming to terms with the realities of the lives they left behind. Through personal anecdotes, descriptions of onboard dynamics, and evocative descriptions of places visited during stopovers, the author provides a unique perspective on the human cost of war and the challenges of reintegration. This book offers valuable insights into an often-overlooked aspect of WWI, making it an essential read for history buffs, casual readers, and anyone interested in the complexities of the human experience.
