Editor Laurence Stallings, one-legged Marine, novelist (Plumes), playwright (What Price Glory);, scenarioist (The Big Parade), spent three years mulling over thousands of War pictures from every available source to make his selections. Says he: "A militarist will be disappointed with them for there are not enough pictures of guns and tactical groups. A pacifist will not find enough horror. . . . Here is the camera record of chaos." There is no running text. Editor Stallings' captions are terse, provocative, sometimes sarcastic. He quotes freely from Rupert Brooke, Alan Seeger and Kipling.

Marshal Chiang has lost much face by his continued failure to consolidate and pacify central China (his own territory) and his failure to provide more determined resistance to Japan. Wang Ching-wei resigned in disgust having first...
...Militarist Araki (a devoted husband and father) beautifully threatened Japanese withdrawal from the League of Nations "if its commission [now investigating Manchuria] continues to show ignorance of Far Eastern conditions." Demanding that more Japanese troops be sent to Manchuria, General Araki said (as nearly as his flowerings can be translated) : "The problems confronting the Empire's defense arm are of such magnitude and profound importance as to transcend those of our Siberian expeditions in 1918 [when Japanese and other Allied troops penetrated far into Soviet territory]. From certain viewpoints the present situation is even more serious than the Russo-Japanese...
