The Long Road to Victory (Classic Reprint)

John Buchan

4.9/5 (32173 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Long Road to Victory This is a book of soldiers' tales, told, for the most part, by those who took part in the events they records. They are drawn from many branches of service and from many countries; sometimes they are concerned with great and critical operations, but more often they deal with episodes and sideshows in the huge business of war. Their romance is the romance of naked truth undecorated by fancy, for the authentic miracles of the last few years have left the professional romancer limping far behind. There has never in the worlds history been such an arena of drama and strange adventure as that long road which the Allies travelled to victory. Libraries will not exhaust its treasures; indeed, it will be years before we, who have been preoccupied with special stages, will be able to grasp the wonders of the whole journey. This budget of wayside tales is only the cutting of a few sheaves at random from an immense harvest. The book is intended especially for those who are only now growing to manhood, and were too young themselves to take part in the campaigns. It would not be a good thing to be always thinking about the war, for the eyes of youth should be turned forward. But it would be a worse thing to forget it, for it is a matter for everlasting remembrance and eternal pride.
