Ordeal by Battle 



BY FREDERICK SCOTT OLIVER 



New American Edition, cloth, 8vo, $1.50 



" The first great book on the war. ... It deals, 

 and deals worthily and greatly, with the mightiest 

 issues ever known to the world. ... By one of 

 those rare men in whom hard thinking and clear 

 writing go together. . . . Alive and luminous; 

 adorned with portraits, enriched with studies of 

 character and performance." - - New York Tribune. 



" A genuine book, a great and necessary adven- 

 ture in difficult truth-telling." London Saturday 

 Review. 



" A rare eloquence and a wealth of illustration 

 which recalls Burke. ... A storehouse of political 

 thought, set out with a precision and an eloquence 

 which have been absent from the literature of 

 politics. . . . Every page is lit up by some memor- 

 able phrase."- The London Times. 



" A big book and a valuable book. A stirring 

 appeal, able, eloquent, vigorous and sincere. Here 

 at last is a man who has a definite thesis to 

 maintain." New Republic.
