Excerpt from Under the German Shells<br><br>Life is a curious thing. In time of war Life is itself the extraordinary and Death seems the only ordinary thing possible for men.<br><br>In time of war man is but a straw thrown into the Wide ocean. If the tossing waves do not engulf him he can do no more than float on the surface. God alone knows his destiny.<br><br>This book, Under the German Shells, is another instance of war's uncertainties. Sent by my government to America to join the new Amer ican army as instructor, I wrote the greater part of the book on the steamer which brought me. The reader will, perhaps, read it when I am dead; for another steamer is about to carry me back to France, where I shall again be under the German shells, before the book will see the light.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
