It is easy to see why this book has become one of the most popular in the literature of the war. It is written by a well-known correspondent, is lifelike and

vivacious in its description of the American soldier in France, and is happy in its combination of description and talk with the American soldier himself.



Marshal Foch, the commander of eleven million bayonets, has written that no man is more qualified than Gibbons to tell the true story of the Western Front. General

Pershing, Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, has said that it was Gibbons' great opportunity to give the people in America a life-like picture

of the work of the American soldier in France.


This is a well written narrative by an amazing man. The author's experiences are amazing and were recognized by the US and Allied leaders.
I recommend this title to any student of the First World War and of US military history.

Mr. Gibbonss had the opportunity to mingle with the enlisted men, and he describes them in every phase of their life in France from the time they landed there until

shortly before the armistice was signed. It is a life-like picture that he draws, for even in new situations and unfamiliar surroundings we recognize the Yankee,

enjoy his humor and appreciate his ingenuity. Mr. Gibbons has shared the doughboy's experiences, so that the story he gives us is in the language of the American

soldier who just talks his way through "And They Thought We Wouldn't Fight."
