Signed by the author on the title page to a previous owner.

World War One is the event that set the stage for the modern world and transformed the United States from an isolationist promised land to a crusading state, willing to go to war for ideological reasons. “From Wentworth to the Western Front” examines the war front and the home front of World War One from the perspective of the correspondence between Private John Warns and his family in Wentworth, South Dakota. The story that emerges reveals the dramatic extent to which rural America was drawn into the maelstrom of events surrounding World War One.
